I'm looking for a USB 3.0 hub. I sort search results by "Price + Shipping: lowest first."
First result is
New 7 Port High Speed USB 3.0 2.0 Hub Expansion + Power Adapter for Notebook PC
and it's only $1.29 with free shipping! Cool!
Open up the listing and I'm offered a drop-down menu to Select Types . I'm offered a USB 1.1 hub for $1.29 (which I don't want) or a USB 3.0 which, when I select it, the price jumps to $15.09.
15.09 is not 1.29. This is very deceptive as the item I want is much more expensive than advertised. In fact the item I want is not advertised.
I think this is an awful and deceitful practice that wastes my time by making me look at items from sellers that i don't want.
It is happening more and more often. Why does eBay allow this?
Is there a way to block so I see true pricing for the items I'm searching for?

Besides narrowing your search to North America, you can narrow it even more by entering a price range on the left hand side of the screen or from Advanced Search.
