    Misleading advertising, pricing to description

    How is this allowed 

     

    6.0AH 18V Lithium Battery $33.50 

     

    Follow link and it defaults to 2.0AH battery for that price $33.50

    Use drop down boxes to select correct battery (6AH) as in title and its $48.50

    This is misleading and false advertising and ebay should stop it being done or
    be reported to ACCC for allowing their site to be used to use this way.

    I scrolled upwards and read said post, and gave it a helpful vote on the basis of staunch sagacity.

    When searching for items, rule out unrealistically low prices in the search filters. No one should expect to pay for a gimcrack and get the Koh-i-Noor.

     

    By doing this, you’ll avoid a lot of the listings with variations.

    Yes the price should be listed as  $48.50 or 2.0AH should be listed. That's misleading. I have seen something like this before too

    Tell eBay! How the **bleep** do you do that?
    How many screens does one have to try and traverse, to report something like this? I can't find it.
    How many thousands of ppl have to complain to get something done?
    It's still going on 6/12 after this was first reported, and worse.
    Poor practices eBay.

    Every listing has a report button, but as said months ago, eBay won't do anything about foreign sellers, especially Chinese ones.

    eBay Australia has to do it no matter the seller origin. The fraud is committed and registered on an Australian site and the government has jurisdiction over eBay Australia. They can and have banned sites that advertise pirated material and they can for fraudulent material as well!

    Please dont drag up dead threads.  This has been asleep for a long while.

     

    As mentioned many times on the forums Variation Listings are Not Illegal

    They posted similar nonsense on another topic

     

    Seem to like spreading false 'information' and saying things are 'fraud' bases wholly and only on their personal dislike of something
