Did it get you to click? Was it 'as advertised'? Yes? No?? Yeah, it's click-bait. Certainly with the 2nd one - With the B-I-N price of $89.50, it was NEVER selling for $8, as the ad implies. Ditto for the first one, with a starting bid of $19.94.
I wonder if they could be taken to court for false advertising. What a dirty steaming pile of trickery.
I have an ongoing ebay search, for Postage stamp catalogues. So the selection of catalogues arrive in my email from ebay They are all advertised as $8 or buy now at $8
This has happened before.
I guess I need to contact ebay complaints and see what they suggest.
I have never seen this before, but looks like ebay bug (or God forbid, feature). I don't think ebay offers sellers ability to bait & switch for extra fee. I think that is literally illegal in most jurisdictions It's also quite probable whatever is going on here is region specific.
