Poor Search Results - Multiple Variations of Items Under One Listing, Multiple Pricing
Feedback for Ebay
As a Buyer, the change in ebay listings makes it nearly as bad as Amazon's. Sellers are now listing multiple variations of an item with multiple prices. This has been around for awhile but has gotten far worse recently. Multiple variations for the same item, multiple quantities to allow for discount is okay, but for an essentially different item/ difference price, it is not.
Ex- Search for 512GB SSD m.2. Results=> 200+ listings showing 128GB, 240GB, 256GB, 500GB, 512GB, 1TB and so forth, all with successively higher prices of course, all in the same listing. So weeding through the first 200+ to find the actual capacity sought takes way too much time. Setting the criterion in the left side check box for the precise size yields the same baggage. Searching for "512GB" SSD m.2 still gets other capacities, so a bit fewer listing but still a lot of baggage and time waster. It is easier to shop elsewhere.
-"We’ve streamlined your search results to show you the best listings. See more results" => More time wasted. Ebay is trying to tell me what the best buy is, and it is just about always wrong. And search order for lowest price + shipping is now messed up because of "preferred listing"?? Not what I asked for as a Buyer.

·2 years agoTry something like this:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/56083/i.html?_nkw=512GB+SSD+m.2+-256+-128&Storage%2520Capacity=512%2520GB&_dcat=56083&LH_ItemCondition=1000&_sop=16
Sorted "Highest first", scroll to the bottom of the results, then work your way up. That ensures multiple quantity listings are sorted by highest priced qualifying option rather than the lowest price, and it also avoids the "streamlining" that the "Lowest first" sort is subject to.
