Are the non working Australia only filters a glitch or a new change?

Are the non working Australia only filters a glitch or a new change?

if its a change I cant sell on ebay anymore as the overseas competition is too much

[clarry100]

Yes I've been seeing an increase in my buyer requirements log that buyers in countries I do not mail to are trying to buy my items.

Never happened before but quite a few in this past week.

So this seems extra evidence that something is wrong.

Looks like there is a muck up somewhere. i too been getting questions about post from countries I do not post to. Also having dramas seeing items for sales from other countries  when I click onto world wide. seem to only get australia???

Is it me or is there a glitch???????

I'm having the same problem.. just reported to ebay..

sample search

13cm scissors

sort by Price + Postage - lowest first

no matter which item location you select all the listings are the same..

this has been going on for 2 days now (at my end) and i just tested it and still not working.you would think ebay would fix the prob asap...!!!

The issue has been around since last week (that is what eBay CS said to me on the phone yesterday)

Hope something is done quickly. We are losing sales.

By this time of morning we normally have around 15 items awaiting postage on our 2 stores.

Today its only 5. Big drop! Been like this for about a week now.

Just as well we are well advanced in our own web site developement. Once we have that working we won't be so bothered what happens on ebay. When it's working well enough we will close out from ebay altogether.

We are tiring of all this stuff. It's happening far too often for us now.

Surely buyers are sick of it not working properly for them as well. This will drive them to look elsewhere too. Hence why we are confident our own web site will do well.

Reminiscent of last September when eBay tinkered with the Best Match algorithm.

Sales went down badly (about 80% down for the month) for the entire month then.

same here, now i know why this past week has been so dead with sales....not good!! and still not working...bump bump bump thread...jilly

at least you got an answer:-)

[tardigradia]

you can always search for the word Australia in item titles if this happens again:-)

I can undersatand your frustration. Now look at it from a buyer perspectuive as well. All catergories are flooded by OS listings to point where buyers are giving up trolling through the thousands of irrellevant listings. But on the flipside, eBay is a global shopping platform and if your prices are too high you may not sell your items even in Australia Only as buyers now look worldwide.
