eBay has a similar issue where sellers list, in the same listing, a high price item (eg a 3D printer) along with a low price item (a roll of filament). So then when you search for a certain keyword and search by price you'll see those listings gaming the system first
- paulmd 7y agoI have started using minimum prices on my queries to filter this out. List an item for $1-499, you're no longer in my results. (I would really just like a way to filter out multiple-product listings entirely. The only valid use-case is like, multiple colors or something. 99% of the time they're used to game search results and the prices are almost never good enough to be worth manually sorting through 200 identical listings vs just filtering them out entirely. But at least minimum price queries filter out one way they are abused.) Also, filter to US sellers only. Usually if you buy from China then the savings aren't that huge, you'll be waiting a month to get your item, and if the item ends up not working then it's impossible to return it. On some items you are going to be getting the same junk anyway, but from a bulk importer shipping from the US, but other items with definite name-brands it does cut out a lot of the junk listings.
