Filter amount listings

[mike_coreit]

Hi is there any way to filter out listings which have the Amount drop down?

For example when I list by lowest price it shows me some with an unrelated item as the cheapest thing.

In fact I don't even care if it is cheaper at this point, I would just rather not reward the sellers that use this dishonest tactic.

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to filter out this type of listing. I wish eBay would stop sellers doing this.  A drop-down menu should not include silly things for 99p that often have nothing to do with the item in the main listing. It makes searching very tedious & time-consuming!

Absolutely agree. If the title is batteries, then the price shown before you click should be for batteries. If the seller is also selling other things, they can list it separately.

It's a really bad practice & detrimental to buyers trying to search & to sellers who don't do this.

I've found that if you set your search price with the minimum set to higher than 99p, or something nearer the minimum price you're willing to pay it tends to reduce the amount, but nothing I've tried ever removes them completely.

If the price search filter is not visible on the left then click on the 'Advanced' blue link next to the main search box & there is the option there too.

One weird trick to avoid many of those price variation listings that include an unrelated 99p item so the listing appears at the top of any "lowest first" sort:

Set a price range to limit the total number of results returned to a reasonable level, then sort by "highest first" instead of lowest, jump to the very end of the search results, and scroll up instead of down.

This forces variation listings to sort by the highest priced variation within your range -- which is often the variation you are most interested in, anyway -- and it allows you to ignore all those unrelated 99p variations entirely.
