Why has the search location filter disappeared from search pages for anyone searching who's delivery location isn't in the UK when using the UK site. 

There have been complaints from buyers in eu countries that search the UK site and can no longer filter item location to the eu or anywhere else because that function has disappeared.

Here's a link to one of the threads. https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Technical-Issues/Country-and-region-search-filters-gone-or-not-worki... 

And this is another thread.https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Technical-Issues/Option-to-filter-item-location-vanished/m-p/7329704... 

I discovered it is possible to use the advanced search to filter country/region location but it's not as easy as using the search filter on the actual search pages.
