false misleading advertising
searched for 2x Ryobi 5.0Ah 18v lithium batteries and the first one that came up looked good, BUT have a look at the original advertised price on the image files I've attached, then look at what happens to the price when I entered that same article from the select box! The item goes from the advertised AU $27.93 up to AU $62.93 !!! So, unless I missed something, I'd say this is unscrupulous, false and totally misleading. ACCC should be looking at these things. that

·3 years agoRegular old multi listing, they have been around for yawn, years.
In the listing you select what you want, for $27.93 you get a charger.
By all means get on to ACCC, they have nothing better to do.

·3 years agoYou mean the listing that shows before you even open the thing
AU $27.93 to AU $136.95
Seller is in China, so good luck with the ACCC
And given their horrid feedback, nobody in their right minds would buy from them, let alone knock off garbage
It looks like you missed several things there
The item description says Brand FOR Ryobi
These are NOT real Ryobi
They are knock off rubbish from China
With no warranty

·3 years agoEver heard of non-genuine Lithium batteries exploding on charge ?
That's exactly what those are - cheap knock-offs. If you've got any sense you won't buy them, you'll pay the extra for genuine Ryobi batteries.
