seller has 2 completely different items in one listing?

[jimdavis6111]

I came across a seller that has 2 completely different items in one listing. Its category is under clothing, so when I saw it it said a dress for 0.99 cents. I went to the listing, but as soon as you choose your sizes, there is also listed feather extensions, and that is what is 0.99 cents. Choose your dress color, and the price changes to whatever it is. Now I'm wondering if it is against policy to sell 2 completely different items in one listing...it sounds to me that they are trying to avoid fees... am I right?

Where is this seller located?;-)  That's a rhetorical question. 

The way ebay sets up listing with variations, - which is what you describe, - the cheapest price always shows up no matter what the picture the seller has posted.  Although sellers really ought to group 'like' items together, preferably similar or even same priced ones. 

Your seller is not alone, - if you do a Search with just the word "dress" and category "Clothing", pick the 'Buy it Now' tab, - you'll see just how many are doing this.  They show a dress, fancy wedding gowns too, but include items like a shoulder strap, -  so that it all looks like a 99 cent dress.  Why anyone at all would ever buy from a seller like that is beyond me.

Anyway, if you want to read what ebay has to say about Listing with Variations, and how sellers do it, and what is expected of them, there's this:
