Sellers making click bait/false advertising.

It's getting really irritating to "bait click" on an item for a low price only to find that once you click on it , the item is over $144.60 more.......

WL Toys V950 RC Heli....$12.89. Real Price $157.49

I avoid these types of listings like the plague.

Did you really think you were going to buy a $150.00 Heli for $13?

That should have been a sort of, warning sign.

Did you report the listing?  It helps if everyone who experiences this would spend one minute and report the listings.

Good Luck Selling!

Report.  The category I shop in is rife with clickbait of the type that shows more on than what's offered on the photos.  I made a rule for myself to report one listing per day.  I know it's swimming against the tide, but at least I get some cathartic release.

Whether the OP thought he would get one for $13 is not the point.

It is the fact that the seller is violating policy by manipulating the search and gumming up the results.

I've reported 1000s of listings for numerous valid reasons and watched as they were never removed.

I used to keep them in my favorites to see if any action was taken.

Not one was removed.

That seems like an excessive amount and none were removed? 

I am not much of a buyer online and I have only reported a couple items during a hot market (peak of a short term interest) for the items I was selling.  I knew it only had a short 2 month window and when I researched what others were selling them for I found Asian sellers with them and this item can only be bought from the licensed manufacture if you are a registered US business and the item was only produced just a few days earlier so I reported the listings as reproductions along with info from the licensing agreement for this item and the next day I went back and did the search again and the listing were gone with no signs in sold listings area.

Good Luck Selling!

There are an excessive amount of abusive listings. I put them on my watch list after reporting and they just sit there still up forever. I can find over 100,000 listings at any given time violating policy. EBay could easily hire a team to remove listings instead of writing code for goofy glitched out features that no one would ever willingly spend there fees on.

Same here. After several years of reporting and nothing being done, I just gave up

Prime example is the selling of full bottles of alcohol.  The word "unopened", or "sealed" in the listing should make it an instant hit for removal by eBay code, but then they would lose the FVF on a $1000 sale.

And along with that many sellers of these "collectibles" offer them up with USPS shipping.

Folks if you're not getting satisfaction when reporting them than I suggest you post it on Ebay's Facebook page. People tend to get results and problems dealt with when they put it out on social media. It also might be a way to get the issue addressed at Ebay open as those that participate on the Facebook page will bring it up at the Open.

[castlemagicmemories]

There have been numerous complaints about this~~it's not just you.

[dyw-82]

I totally agree and as far as i've seen ebay is constantly doing that! I think they really better change this before everyone gets too fed up to order from them anymore
