It should be easy just go to category, check free shipping, put max price 0.01 and then sort by lowest price.

Except “Search results are ranked based on a smart algorithm” which translates to the search engine ignoring any logical sorting and lying about the actual shipping price.

yes and the other game where a watch or whatever is listed for 3 cents

then you go to the actual listing, and find out the ad lists 5 things:

4 colors of the watch, and a WATCH BOX, which costs 3 cents – the actual watches are $50

the ‘‘smart algorithm’‘ makes sure you cannot find things the way you want to

and why don;t the let you ELIMINATE things from search results

you can literally type in as a search “asdasdr34534345”

and it still finds 3,000,000 results

if you type in ‘watch -automatic’, thinking it will not show automatic watches, no, what it does now is show results with EITHER ONE

(amazon does the same thing – only ebay lets you eliminate stuff you don;t want to see)

grumble

Tell me about it…

Last time I desperately needed an asdasdr34534345, I was swamped in so many useless search results that I just said “f@(% it” and gave up.

I purchased a few 1¢ items before, I had to jump through hoops to actually get them.
One item was an HDMI dummy device (useful for Raspberry Pis), and another was a magnetic USB Type C cable for my phone. Shipping took a lot longer than expected, even longer than usual AliExpress shipping.

they probably spent extra money storing them in a warehouse for a month before shipping

Sometimes the 1c deal are for new members only, I once tried making a new account to get a 1c usb cable and that order was cancelled for no reason.

At this point I’m really tired of AE, it is a waste of time specially when you try to find something specific and 99% of the prices are clickbait
