Nolt only making it impossible to sort by price, I get the feeling that some sellers are multiple listing in order to mislead buyers into thinking the price of a particular item is lower than it really is. eg a choice of 4 dfferent colours af widgetA at $5 each listed along with one widgetB at $3. So the listing shows an image of widgetA and the price shows $3. Very tricky. Turns me right off.

Why does eBay do a lot of things?
I for one can't explain their 'logic'

I can, but I'd just be guessing.

Why does eBay persist with multiple choice listings?
Because it's an essential listing format, and since many sellers use it the way it was intended, the site would be clogged with literally millions of identical items with minor variations if they removed it.
Unfortunately, there are sellers who abuse the format, so a better question is why won't eBay enforce the policies they have for variation listings so that sellers stop abusing it? (It's the most appropriate question, but for eBay it's rhetorical, because the majority of sellers who abuse the format are in China and eBay won't sanction them, or their listings).

I pay 6c if I go over my allocated listings. But I don't expect a free ride.
Not to mention that non-stores are still getting unlimited free listings for a few days every month. Most of us anyway.
