Diggin' Dave Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Question is why do they do this as it's obviously counter-productive for them too. I for one really don't like the new eBay and don't feel like spending any time on there and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I for one really don't like the new eBay and don't feel like spending any time on there and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one! your not the only one, 12 months ago ebay sent me survey on how to improve the search experience and asked me to try the beta service out, i hated it and told them so.... it might be worth ringing customer services to see if you can opt out of it Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Anyone know a way out of this? Click on Advanced Search Enter what you want to search for Scroll down the page until you get to Location Click Only show items: Then change the From preferred locations: to Worldwide Click Search at the bottom of the page. Make a bookmark of the results page that comes up after a while and re-use it the next time you want to do a worldwide search. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 aaaaaaah so thats how you do it ...or a much more simple way to do it: Do a normal search. When the results pop up, scroll down and click Worldwide under the Location header in the left column. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

When the results pop up, scroll down and click Worldwide under the Location header in the left column. Searches seem to work Ok, although it's hit and miss if it finds everything that's there in your criteria. (old version was much more consistent, but by no means perfect) Problem is general listings - say for instance 7 inch r&b, : Previously I could list through all records in this catagory, listed in any country, any currency, sorted by finishing soonest - Yes, it was tons of stuff, but I was only interested in looking at stuff finishing now, so I could do a "day" in about 20/30 pages. Can't find any way to do that anymore, so I have seperate bookmarks now for , again say 7"/r&b, but for .com / .co.uk / and various european sites - 'tis a pain Mick Holdsworth Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
