It would be awesome if you included shipping in the total price(or at least for certain countries). I know bookfinder does that, as some people add an extra $100 to several hundred dollars to the price which skews the results.

I think ebay technically frowns upon excessive shipping as some sellers use it to get their items higher in certain search results due to a low base price, but ebay doesn't really apply enforcement to their sellers on these soft violations most of the time.

It seems some of your filters like "storage type" are must include and when unchecking it all the results disappear, while others like "OS" seem like a filter and when unchecking the results increase.

I'm not seeing many chromeboxes in the results so maybe they are being filtered out?



Thank you, I have fixed the "OS" filter to be must include.

Chromeboxes don't come up much for the search I'm using. I think I could try a separate search for them.

Regarding shipping, I'm not sure how to include it, since it requires the user's location, which would take this over the API limits. I'm going to add more marketplaces, and maybe product locations. Which country are you shipping to?


Maybe just take an average of shipping costs to a few locations (West coast Us, East coast US, Europe) and filter out anything where the shipping cost is greater than the cost of the product itself.

Or just get a shipping estimate to the same city as the seller is in.


Adding product location would be great! As a resident of the European Union I'm unlikely to order one of these mini PCs from the USA due to import taxes and additional shipping costs.


I think shipping costs varies wrt where you live.


A $38 lenovo cost me $633.90 with the shipping costs, from US to Switzerland i guess :D
