Just use price lowest or highest first.

But if the items have postage ranging from FREE to $50, do I buy the cheap one (with $50 postage) or the expensive one (with FREE postage)? And when looking at multiple items it gets very difficult to find the best price.

Unfortunately, eBay are making the site simpler and changing many functions.

Better would be to focus on problems rather than micro managing and changing things that work.

Because that might make sense so to confuse the issue they instead have:

 

Most relevant,(no idea how they work that one out).

 

Time left: ending soonest,(which makes sense).

 

Time left: newly listed,(I've never used it).

 

Price: highest,(I understand lowest but not highest).

 

Seller ID: What,which where,why would you search that way?

 

Date added: most recent,(I understand but have never used it).

 

I've always had mine on Price: lowest and see no reason to change it,good.gif

If you sort the list by Price + Postage lowest first you will find a mix of free postage and items with the postage listed.  The overall cheapest item is at the top of the list.

 

That is the whole idea of the Price + Postage lowest first.....you dont have to work it out for yourself.

In your watch list, tick the boxes on all the same items you are looking to buy.

 

When they are all ticked, go to the top and click on 'compare'.  It will then list them all

side by side for your to choose which one suits you better.

You sort by seller ID when you buy several items from the one seller.  Easier to have them all showing together so you can work out which ones to buy to get the most economical postage.  If you have them scattered all over the page you have to scroll up and down to see them but it's easy if you have them all together.
