Aliexpress?
- OJFord 3y agoIs that a joke? It's far more of a nightmare. Sort by price and it's only sorting on the 'from' price, which isn't even necessarily the same product, doesn't include the shipping, and doesn't account for wild variation (in not just base price but also inexplicably shipping) when you change quantity or colour.
- meatmanek 3y agoI would love to see some regulation (/ enforcement) that if you're going to lump different variations of a product together into one product listing, they need to be substantially identical in function and build. Two different colors of the same specification iPhone are fine to group together (arguably even different storage configurations), but it should be illegal to have a product listing show up on a search page with a price of $5 when the title and photos show the $100 actual product, and $5 is what you pay for the charger brick. This is extremely common on AliExpress, and obviously the FTC's reach is limited there, but it also happens not infrequently on Amazon and eBay.
- justinclift 3y agoAliexpress has famously shitty search capability. Perhaps worse than Amazon's, and that's saying something.
