Suggestion to eBay for Lockdown: Search filtering to exclude "Collection"

Suggestion to eBay for Lockdown: Inprove Search filtering to allow buyers to EXCLUDE "Collection" (only) items from search results.

Many ad hoc sellers list items for sale "free collection only".  This is unattractive for people who are observicing strict social distancing.shielding, even if the item is local. (Maybe ebay can nudge sellers to offer delivery, as a promotion with Hermes, perhaps)

But there is no way to exclude "free collection" these from the search results but leave all the "delivered" options listed--you have to scroll ove very many listings that are irrelevant to what is wanted.

Yes, you can filter on "free postage" but that exludes many listings (ad hoc or commercial) which do make a delivery charge (reasonably, and helpfully for combined postage discounts)

What is needed are changes to the delivery filtering: either an "exclude collection only" or make delivery options a multiple check box which includes Free postage, Delivered (for a fee), Click and Collect (free or paid for), and Free Collection (in which case tick Free postage/delivered to get the most "lockdown friendly" set of items).

Also, for people travelling out on foot in their immediate locality, change "Item location within" filter to have "1 mile" in the dropdown, as that's a more sensible distance for people collecting goods on their daily allowed local exercise

I think Ebay has far more important issues to deal with, and I cannot understand why you find it such a problem. Also, the main reason for items being for collection only is that they are too large or heavy to send, so collection is the only option.
