Wanted do do an worldwide search on eBay, but noticed I can't opt out of the beta anymore. It's now impossible to view a listing with records from around the globe - great!

Anyone know a way out of this?

dave,im trying to do the same!!!,e-bay just cant leave it alone they just have to keep tinkering!!!!!

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!

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

...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.

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
