Hi all
I have set up a heap of saved searches (mainly for cd's) in my ebay. As further information I am located in Australia.
There are basically 3 types of posatge for me, most from the UK or EU predominately from estocks are very cheap postage (free or ~$3.50) so thats where I buy most of mine from. I also buy local cd's where postage can vary and I can pick and choose. The 3rd type are generally items from the USA with very high postage per cd (~$20+) but a few from places such as world of books for instance can have cheap US postage.
So for example I can buy a cd inc postage for $8.50 as oppossed to higher postage items which may be $26 inc postage.
So all that being said, is there any way to filter out the high postage items? I find it very very frustrating that I can search for items within a certain price range but I cannot search for within a certain price range factoring in postage costs.

OP10 years agoThat only sorts them, it does not exclude them altogether. I only check ebay on my phone and I would like them excluded altogether so that if I have a new item notification it will only be for items I am likely to buy as they will have cheap postage.

·10 years agoI think you can only filter by purchase amount, not postage. I have no trouble revising the search on my phone to ending soonest or price+postage lowest. It would just be nice if the app stored that preference so I didn't have to revise every single time I want to check something.

·2 years agoI have the same issue which is more about saved searches which email you when there are matches.
But since you cannot factor delivery cost into the search, you end up with lots of false emails where an item matches your price range, but the item is in US with postage of $20+.
This makes the saved searches that email you when a match comes up a bit useless.
