Hi all,

I wonder if sellers could be limited in cluttering the price-list.

We have tiered price possibilities, but some sellers like to clutter the price-list
with more than 1 listing. In the example it is 11 times for the same item!!!!!

Why???

I would suggest if it is exactly the same item, either use tiered pricing....or
maximum of 3.

Anyone else has an opinion?


Be cool and have fun!

Voted no. This seller has probably got pre-packed bags in those numbers so it
is legitimate to list like this. Plus tiered pricing does not work in the same
way when it comes to buyers sorting by price. And there are not enough price
bands for this in tiered pricing.

If a change needs to be made, then let it be that the "least favourite" setting
works in the price guide too, so they can be hidden from view if they offend
you.

Hi

It might be that the seller purchased at different prices and to keep the margin
the same are listing at different selling prices as well. Also might be that
the seller wants to sell old stock quicker on fifo basis. Also might items parted
from sets as opposed to bulk purchases of the same item. Might be different warehousing
options. Could also be differnt remarks for sales purposes, which cannot be done
for tiered prices. Who knows, the reasons can be myriad and all perfectly reasonable.
Personally I would not use tiered pricing for any of the above.
Just a thought
