buying from ebay is too frustrating

Question

I had put an order in my cart. At the time it seemed like the best value seller.

Then I go back to my cart to purchase it and right after I purchase it, there are several new options to buy the same item at a lower cost and 1/2 the shipping charge. Why does it change 2 days later. Now I know I got over charged by the seller I bought from? Why don't these other options show up when I first shopped?

Then, I looked at cancelling the order to buy from the better value seller and I inadvertently cancelled the wrong order - I was totally looking at seat covers, how did ebay toggle over to a completely different item order?

I know its user error but its bull**bleep** that you have to pay this much attention vs. Amazon.

It's no different on Amazon. Prices can change daily on Amazon, eBay, your grocery store, your gas station, and almost everywhere else you shop. New items are added daily. You should do your comparison shopping whenever you buy something. I wouldn't let price be the only driver - customer service and seller reputation is the most important thing to me, then price.

Just because you are paying more doesn't mean you are overcharged. Item pricing varies and shipping is based on how far you are from the seller's location.
