Search Parameters missing

[hartberry]

What has happened to the search parameters?  I can no longer search within the U.K or personalise amount but have to use ebay's amounts.  I search in Art, but has anyone else noticed this in the categories they use? It's a real pain.

This is a pain, and I'm still not sure whether it's a new and "improved" feature, or a glitch.

You can override the choices by editing the URL of the page in your browser's address bar. For example, browsing Paintings in the Art category with this URL:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_7204697

...shows no Item Location option and only eBay's pre-set price bands. If you change the URL to this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_7204697?LH_PrefLoc=1&_udhi=100&_udlo=50

...and press Enter then you should only get UK listings between £50 and £100. You can change the udhi= setting to the highest price you want, and udlo= to the lowest (the £ sign is not required and these prices don't include postage). Here's the same link with a price band of £123 to £456:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_7204697?LH_PrefLoc=1&_udhi=456&_udlo=123

Hope this helps.

Thanks that's helpful but ebay tech needs to look at this

It's been reported and there are several threads about the problem, but it persists...

Can I be a nuisance and ask for a link to a couple of threads.  I did a search and nothing came up for me.

Here's quite a long one:

...where Anita from eBay said that she'd reported it (post 16 of 36).
