So I am looking at some items for sale on Ebay and, to me, there are the same products for sale but have different prices? Does anyone know why that is? I couldn't find anything in the item for sale as to why.

Thanks all.:biggrin:

different sellers have different prices. Or were they all from the same seller to?

Also, i have found that the cheaper products have a higher shipping charge, and the more expensive products have cheap shipping. Keep an eye out for that too when searching.

Jason, thanks for the info. Yes, it is the same seller so that is why I wondered about how it all works.

I find that sometimes, mostly with powersellers that perhaps can't keep track of their own inventory. What's more suprising is that I've noticed that the higher priced items are still bought even though the lower price items are still available. Still have to watch the shipping though, because sometimes it gets marked up with higher S&H costs.

Thanks, Ed. It was lighting I was looking at but after doing some research on it, I am going to stick with what I have.

But I am learning something new here with my question. Aquabid, Ebay, sometimes having a credit card is not a good thing! lol
