When is eBay going to crack down on multi-item pricing fraud?
Sellers are clearly abusing the 'multiple items in one ad' function to manipulate their position in price-sorted view.
i.e. They are listing a $10 item. But they also list a $1 item in the same ad.
Now the ad shows us with a PICTURE of the $10 item, but with a $1 price FOR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ITEM.
This is making eBay frustrating and unusable. You have to click through every damn ad to find out the REAL price for the item pictured.
I've been waiting for eBay to crack down on this.
Why is it taking so long???
There isn't even a specific 'Report Item' sub-category to cover this.
Seriously, I try to avoid eBay as much as possible now because of this issue. It wastes my time.
Personally - I think eBay should list the MOST expensive price of the multiple items. That would fix the problem over-night, and stop these time-wasting ads and tricks. The listed price should be for the item pictured!!!!!!!!
ANYONE AT EBAY LISTENING???
Here's one example:
Please fix eBay.

·3 years agoThis is still happening. I found a particularly obnoxious one today looking for "double wall glass coffee mugs". Saw a listing for 6 for 16 bucks. Thought that was a pretty damn good deal.
Click through ready to buy and at the last moment I notice that its actually for a 12 pack of straws. on the drop down. The actually coffee mug in the description isnt available.
This is straight up fraud, trying to catch people not paying full attention AND it heavily screws up the listings and reduces trust.
And this has been going on for *years* and appears to be legal, and I'm bamboozled as to *why* its legal?
