Multiple item listings are merely clickbait. Ebay needs to change it's approach to I.T.

I am getting really fed up with Ebay these days. It used to be very easy to find an item by entering a specific string that ought to be part of the specification (like 50w 220v) and you would get a list of single (auction/buyitnow) items matching those specs and you could then sort by time ending ot price.

This has all gone by the wayside with the new multiple item lisintg rules.

Ebay needs to clamp down on all this mixed bag multiple item listing clickbait as it is now becoming VERY time consuming to find any specific item.

These days when you search for any specific item 'buy it now' all you get are thousands of mixed item auctions at price ranges anywhere from 1 to 99 dollars so sorting by price or searching on a specific description is useless as all you get is a plethora of clickbait listings professing to sell the item you are after for one dollar and and Ebay expect you to click through up to 6 drop down selectable items on each auction to actually see what the price is and even if they have any stock. It is never one dollar lol. Normally they will have one of the mixed items at a dollar like an "LED bead", and the item you actuall want is closer to $20.  Of course you know that before you 'go in' but you have to go through the whole palaver just to get the price.   It is like being in a Morrocan bazaar with all the BS that you have to wade through.

Ebay has become a HUGE waste of time as searching for a good deal on any item now takes ---> hours <---.

This is NOT what "Information Technology" is all about! It is supposed to make life EASIER, not HARDER!!!

At the VERY LEAST can Ebay provide a checkbox where buyers can choose to filter by "single item" auctions?

But the practice ought to be banned, listing a one dollar LED bead along with a fifty dollar flood light merely to gain listing price priority.

If Ebay does not fix this problem, people like me will jump ship to another platform that can provide clear concise search results should one ever become available.  Just becasue at the moment Ebay have cornered the market does not mean it will last.

Any other buyers extremely annoyed with the time consuming listing practices of sellers these days?
