I wonder how long this has been going on....?
I went looking for a small electronic device on eBay (a Bluetooth audio receiver) and found that there are a number of sellers who will have the product listed as part of a multi-variant listing - where the 'variant' is actually a completely different product that has one quality: It is cheap.
The annoyance is that the price shown in the gallery view is of the cheapest item - and that is what it is sorted on, if you choose a sort on price.
So, you put in your search, sort on price and see some promising items at $1.00. You then select the listing and find it is a multi-variant with the actual product you are looking for costing $10. The $1.00 price if for a simple 3.5mm jack to RCA adapter. Variant, my a***.
This really pisses me off untold. Absolute waste of time.
Anyone else encountered this?

*SNIPE*

I can hardly believe that this question remained unanswered... for 7 years...
Poor brum6y.
Brum6y, no, I've not had it happen, but only because I don't look for the sort of things that lend themselves to being listed by abusers of the multi-variant listings (or indeed being listed as a multi-variant non-abusive listing).
I have certainly seen it happen.
-
Yeah yeah whatever.
Finders keepers, this lost Thread is mine.
I own it.

I think it must have been in a schoolyard when I last heard someone say that and believe it.

Legends abound.

Seriously, there's just HAS to be a moment when we can mostly ALL agree that all of this

Dealing with the living is difficult, I agree.

Can you believe that this thread went from

Brum6y isn't about to kick his shod heels in my direction.
It seems to be mostly Chinese eBay sellers who abuse the multi-variant listing format.

You talking to me?
Darn tootin' !

Nope.
I have popcorn.
Did you bring enough to share?

I don't like your Tone.
-
I didn't think there was anything wrong with my tone.
I only work with Marshall - not Fender, Peavey or anything else.
-
Now who's off-topic?
-
You're the one who started talking about tone....
-
ok I'm sorry. I take it back.
-
That's the sign of a big character - being able to take it back. You deserve a beer and a burger and a chocolate bar, Tello.
-
You know where to send a cheque.
-
Here's a big one ...
