Browsing eBay

[goodrockingtonight]

Hi, Does anybody know if eBay are  dispensing with ' item location'  ?

My main searches on eBay are from the music category.

I select 'music' from the home page,  Then select 'Vinyl' or 'Cassettes' or 'CDs' from the left column.

Scroll past all the (Not interested) adverts until i reach the selected items.

There are lots of specifics that i might select, but there is no 'Item Location' available.

All i want to do is filter out the US sellers because shipping is usually several times the cost of the actual item.

In other words, i just want the UK sellers but they are lost amongst Foreign sellers, it takes ages because there are usually about 14 / 15 million lots of vinyl for sale  😞

I just searched for you - I used the search box, typed in vinyl and got 13,000,000 results, went to item location at the bottom on the left and selected UK which then gave me 5,100,000 results. Then select other offerings on the left such as 

• Record Size
  • 12"(1,925,298) Select items (1,925,298)
  • 7"(1,221,731) Select items (1,221,731)
  • 10"(20,126) Select items (20,126)
  • 6"(250) Select items (250)
  • 8"(187) Select items (187)
  • 5"(138) Select items (138)
  • 11"(72) Select items (72)
  • 13"(55) Select items (55)

  see all
• Genre
•

Oh Deary me, i could not replicate that (Item location missing) but i seem to have more total results: 14,533,310

 

Back to the drawing board me thinks

The filters such as Item Location only appear when you search, not when you browse. 

It's "working as designed", apparently. There are workarounds if you're interested...

any good?

Is the problem due to you using a phone to view? I wouldn't know how it is seen there as I don't have or use a phone or tablet thing.

[3942rick2005]

Exactly as I did.

Hi,

That is the search that i am trying to get but i cannot replicate that.  All i get is a similar amount of items with out all he item specifics on the left hand side.   

https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_1842019   is the link i get when i search.

Maybe - I'm still checking. Have a look.

Using the link that you posted - type vinyl into the search box at the top and you are good to go!

Thank you, i now see where i went wrong.  I clicked on the vinyl records specific on the left of the page without any success.  Now that i have done as you say - Type vinyl in the search box - Bingo !

Many thanks, much appreciated.
