Mostly found in postage and payments. How can you bid on a collection only when you have no idea where it is ?

Now its time for some competition with reasonable rates and a proper service, then we could have shares and make money.

Had the same problem, and then noticed that the address is now under the price bit in the middle. Why do they keep mending things that ain't broke. Grrr! Ray

Just modify your default page layout... Do a search for something, and then click 'Customize' at the top of the list. You can add all sorts of stuff to your list.
I've modified my standard list to show description, price, p&p cost, and distance from my home address.

You can also set the default list format to something useful like 'Ending soonest' rather than the completely useless 'Best match' default.

Now, if only someone could stop people putting their location as 'UK' it'd help a lot.

Oh, and if you're looking for something local, why don't you just specify the search radius as xx miles from your home address? Or sort the list by distance?

At the right hand side of the page is a "Sort by" box.

Change "Best Match" to "Distance: nearest first"


Works for me.

I work 50 miles away from home, it's nice to see where the items are so I can pick them up on the way home.

Ebay went down hill for me when they hid the names of other bidders, no way of checking for shill bidders now.





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
