| As Sellers do you think the algorithm of auto-select / Easy buy are causing
you less sales?
As Buyers are you overpaying using these features?

I find the easy buy option to be weaker than going into the wanted list and clicking
"buy all," as I like seeing all of the store options instead of being handed
one or 2 stores without any others listed
The only issue I've had is that the "buy all" (auto-buy within the wanted
list) would select stores with all the parts I needed, but at absurd prices;
I fixed that by marking them as least-favourite and then filtering out those
stores by clicking the "exclude disliked stores" option when searching through
stores, and haven't had any issues since - it's more so the stores themselves
than the search function though
|
I agree marking least-favorite stores and then checking "exclude" works somewhat.
Also, applying 6m avg price to want list helps narrow it down a bit.
Now figure out shipping cost, additional fees, min. buys, avg. lot values, and
don't forget poor feedback.
I just don't think buyers have the time to find all the best stores, or the
best prices.

In that case, it is the buyer that is broken and not the tool.

What is the "best" order?
The easy buy includes criteria like an assumed shipping time in its algorithm.
It is not aimed at providing the cheapest order for a buyer.
I prefer to make my own choices, and then browse a store to see what more I would
like to add to a potential order to make better use of the shipping cost.
