When is eBay going to crack down on multi-item pricing fraud?

[spechter0]

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.

Let the dead rest. The thread has been lying in its grave for more than five long years.

This is straight up fraud, trying to catch people not paying full attention AND it heavily screws up the listings and reduces trust. 

So the buyer does not read the listing

and

does not pay attention to what they are selecting from the drop down menu

and

Does not read what the cost is before committing to buy

and

Does not read the cost again when doing the final 'confirm purchase'

That is either carelessness or laziness which enables the seller they are complaining about

An iota of attention at any one of those four opportunities would tell the buyer what they are buying and at what price

Far less time than it takes to drag up a six year old post and complain
