This practice seems to have increased lately.
For instance, a seller could be offering ten different colour options for an item, priced at say £29.99 each and then offer one spurious item which nobody would possibly want to buy at 99p which stops consumers being able to filter for the cheapest product actually for sale between different sellers.
This gets worse, when sellers don't even pretend to have an item for sale at 99p, but fill that particular listing with sheer nonsense.
I have tried reporting the worst of these to ebay, but I get the response that the AI has not picked up a violation.
Personally, I think the code for the AI needs re-writing so that it will pick up these kind of annoyances.
Here is an example, but by no means the worst.
