ebay getting miles confused with light years.
ebay states collection (of an item) 10 miles from my location. Ask the seller where exactly they are: at least 25 miles from me, (so 50mile + round trip). Not even 20 miles as the crow flies, but I
ain't a crow, neither do I have a helicopter.

·1 week agoNothing like this seem to work on ebay, when I log in most times is sends me an email to say someone has logged into my account 120 miles away so if there basing my location on that info its doomed to fail.

·2 weeks agoAlways been like that --- distance is quoted in straight lines from A.<> B with no allowance made for deviations in road networks.
Found AA distance route maps to be pretty accurate for travel.
