I have been looking for a brace for my right hand and listing says $2.97 but when you go to size and color, the cheapest one is $7.97.. Isn't this like EBay clickbait or something.. It hurts me a lot to do the search and to find that it's false advertising makes it worse.. I put lowest first and US shipper and probably the first 10 were like that.. Feelin Sad...:(

@texaslady915 I feel your pain too!
They are coming up like that because of the size... so maybe the one you need is bigger and therefore it can cost more. The cheapest will be the smallest size... I know is not fun to have to try to find your size for a cheaper price.... they do this will all sorts of things... like larger top sizes are more money than the smallers sizes 😞

Yes it’s clickbait. Bait and switch. You are definitely not alone, it seems to be happening more and more and a lot of buyers are unhappy about it. I’m sorry 😞

Hi. Actually I need small but I checked all sizes and colors.. Its just a way to get people to click I think.. If you search Arthritis Hand brace and then filter to lowest price and shipping and location US, you will see the first 10 or so with maybe one or two exceptions is like that. I see that EBay is getting a huge amount of these type of listings.. It used to be mostly overseas sellers but now it's US too.. Thanks for your reply..!!

I agree with this. Go ahead and get a good one. Judge Judy says “the cheap comes out expensive”.

Not only does this happen with size, but the clever obnoxious sellers are doing this by having a "decal", or some other such piece of unwanted garbage as the "low, get you to look" price item, and then the actual item that you are searching for cost much more.

Yup:) Where I worked retail we sold only the best quality paint. People would come in and ask for an inexpensive paint. Boss would tell them there is no such thing. When you have to do it the second time it is no longer inexpensive.

having bought dozens of them, i can tell you your best option is to buy local where you can see, feel and touch it. the cheap ones offer little to absolutly no support, merely a wrist warmer. after several of the low to mid cost braces, i opted for the deluxe leather with multible straps and brass buckles. it was so huge that no human would ever have a wrist that large! if you are new to wearing braces, i suggest using it in moderation. when i wear mine too long, i just overpower it which in turn causes more pain.

They do that to get better search placement by showing the cheapest price first.
