Title: Onilne Shops - Bots & Algorithms
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 29 November 2023, 13:57:03
Ebay last week I bought an item for £23 Delivered.  No Tracking given but set for Mon to Fri this week  - Still Waiting for delivery. (But was dispatched last week) :y

This week same person and details.£58.65  Last week when I ordered they had 2 in stock and now 1 left.

I can understand adding maybe 10%, or a new price for new stock, but that is ridiculous.

Other items I have bought for the "Girls" the prices have shot up.

I have bought the same thing multiple times and often stick it in the basket till I need it or the price drops.  But it makes me wonder if the prices are manipulated per customer.

I saw something that would suit my Ex.  Sent her a link to see what she thought, the item was £23 (not the same item mentioned above) she got back to that night and thouth it was great.  The day after  it was £29.95 -Dis the price go up because it was in my basket? :-\

If the price is crucial, always clear your cache before you commit.
