I am sick to death of the sellers that have a picture of what i want only to go to the store open it then see a drop down box and you select the item in the picture and the price goes from $14 To $64 it is a waste of my time and false advertising

Don't look at variation listings

No use telling other members you do not like something, and it's not a site issue

eBay permit variation listings

Especially If you choose to search by cheapest first and dodgy sellers, you will see them

The most recent seller who left you feedback has 20 negs in the past month alone but you happily supported them with their false advertising

Would take you less time to avoid those listings for the most part than it did to tell other members you don't like them

What is the item number in question of the latest one that where the picture of what you actually want changes when you select the matching thing from the drop down box?

Of course it is a site issue, since this site allows such practices that waste my time. This practice is one of the reasons I only shop here as last resort, and I stopped selling some years ago.

Nope, a site issue is a site issue and you have a lot of feedback from the past month. You are wasting your own time by looking at listings which are clearly shown as variation listing up front (when they show a 'price range') and especially if you look at dodgy seller listings. You would know the regulars here know how these things work and should be aware yourself after 20 years

As been said, don't go into variation listings.

The ones with a price range, i.e. $5.00 - $65.00.

Also, probably best not to have your ebay name as your birthday, if it is. Open to scammers.

Happening often to me too. Ebay is becoming a scam site. Thinking of closing my acct & reporting as false advertising

Stop looking at them/opening them. It is very simple and very easy to avoid. Who are you intending to report the seller to? the majority of them are registered in China. No need to tell other members you are thinking of closing your account. Stop giving the variation listings page views and then complain how you looked at a variation listing and it was a variation listing
