> Here in Europe, it's been mandatory to show a price related to a reasonable common base point (e.g. liter, kilogram, piece, usage-unit for laundry detergent) adjacent to the actual product's price for many years now. You can go and use 1/10/100 grams/milliliters though for small scale packages where that is reasonably common (e.g. spices), and that's it.

That's pretty irrelevant to the discussion at hand. It's about blind ordering without worrying about the price.

No one complained that Amazon was hiding prices or making price per quantity hard to discover.

Even with the legislation you suggest, wild price swings are still entirely legal.
