How can I search for Goods located in Northern Ireland?

My current options include Ireland and UK.  But Northern Ireland is not listed as an option.  It appears to be included for Post. Tax and Duty purposes as part of 

'mainland' UK, which has totally different trading rules with the Republic of Ireland.  

Besides not following EU/UK/NI agreements on the shipping of goods, it is unfair to both vendors in NI and buyers in IE.  
While I have no way of checking this, I suspect NI vendors are seeing a downturn in business from IE buyers.

The cost of buying  ew and used items from privets and business sellers in mainland UK is now extortionate, a recent item priced at £65 cost me £110 through GSP.

One possible solution, though probably far from perfect or exact, is this option to enter a postcode and search the surrounding area (distance from)

As above do the search by postcode thing, although expect it to show sellers in Scotland too, as it's not perfect!

Sadly, buyers in NI are going to see less and less items available to them due to the new EU rules, and the particular situation NI finds itself in.

Many sellers are blocking sales to NI due to new import/export rules

So I see why you want to search locally to ensure the seller will actually send item to your location

So many GB sellers will no longer sell to NI - this will be hard for those who live in NI

It is not possible to search for items located in Northern Ireland any more than it is possible to search for items located in England, Scotland or Wales simply because Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

I'm in the UK and other than 'UK only' being given as an option in the 'Item location' list individual countries are not specified so I am unable to search for items located in, for example, the Republic of Ireland.

The 'Item location' list with which I am presented gives the following choices: Default, Within 25 miles (though I can change both my postcode and the search distance by clicking on '25 miles'), UK only, European Union, Continental Europe and Worldwide. At a guess you will see the same options, with perhaps 'Eire only' or 'Republic of Ireland only' in place of UK only.

Your best course of action would be to change your start location, as suggested by ed_58611 - click on the distance (highlighted in blue in the 'Item location' list) and change the search parameters. You can change country, postcode and maximum search distance (from the entered postcode), though I think you'd need to enter 'United Kingdom - GBR' as the country.

Hope this helps.
