"All Filters" removed from specific categories in recent update.

[gregorlauren]

In my case "CNC, Metalworking & Manufacturing". I'm not sure if there are others, but I had a quick look and other categories still have the All Filters button.

I like to browse most recent listings in this category, with the location set to UK Only. The All Filters window was the only way to do this, since ebay previously removed the Location drop down from this category. With the All Filters button gone, it's no longer possible to do this.

I've tried the usual clearing cookes, different browser etc. but this doesn't seem to be on my end, and this category is no longer usable.

This is more a rant about ebay constantly changing things for the worse than it is a question, but has anyone else noticed this?

I had not spotted this - does seem to be missing and I can't invent a rationale for stripping the controls out here but leaving them on the other high-level categories.

If you are using a browser and the problem is a display issue only (rather than a back-end change) then you ought to be able to set UK only with LH_PrefLoc=1 ... something like this ...

It doesn't put the controls on but might get you back something to be going on with. 

Please let me know if it helps.

If you do not see filter options when browsing a category, try searching that category using the name of the category as your search term(s).

Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't work.

[gregorlauren]

Thanks, this is a functional workaround.

[eburtonlab]

You are most welcome -- good luck with your searches!

Yes, been like it for days.

"All filters" has disappeared in categories and filters have disappeared down the left side column so there is no way to browse recently listed items by location UK.

The "Recently Listed" filter changes back to "Best Match" every time you refresh the screen.

I have been having this problem. I started a thread in business seller board.

Its so frustrating. When I click newly listed in dollshouse and miniatures, there is no filter to uk only, I can see no postage prices on the listing except for on international listings which are also in £1s. I cannot access nearest first either.

I am having the same problems. I want to search for UK railway timetables. Used to be easy. Now I get many thousands of mostly USA items. I do not want to see these - I have no interest in them. ebay is not allowing me to see items offered by UK sellers easily. What was the purpose of the update.? It seems the inadvertent effect is to stop UK buyers being able to see items offered by UK sellers. If so what is the point of ebayUK?

I really do wish ebay would stop updating stuff. Every time they do they degrade their functionality.

Is ebay really interested in their buyers and sellers? It sometimes doesn't look like it.

[pulseofthedead]

It seems the choice has been removed. Are we being forced to view items in other countries in the hope we may purchase something because eBay are desperate.... I do not buy internationally as I am happy with what I can buy in the uk.

Try this for UK railway timetables as a starting point:

The doll house category is a little trickier than most since the name contains multiple apostrophes and special characters that are not suited for eBay searches.

Try this search, though, as a starting point:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=%28doll%2Cdoll%27s%2Cminiature%2Cmini%2Cminis%2Cminiatures%2C...

UK only:

So, the missing filters means you can't sort by item location, intended? What marketing team try-hard thought that was a good idea?

[andreww7841]

Thank you for this. It works.

[pulseofthedead]

Thankyou. That's great

[eburtonlab]

You are very welcome. Good luck!

[pulseofthedead]

I have a feeling that it's intended

[andreww7841]

And now it no longer works properly - absolutely hopelss

"All Filters" by category was back yesterday but my celebrations were premature because it's gone again now.

I miss the Location filter badly. I buy comics but I don't want to pay £20 postage from the USA.. so I normally set filter to UK. Now I have to trawl through tons of listings I don't want to see. This has slowed down browsing considerably. The net result is that I'll buy less, not more..
