Disappointed at ebay site for forcing me to buy products outside Australia due to there layout and search algorithm. I find it so hard to buy in australia, I get items come up from all over the world with lengthy posting times from China or over priced shipping like from the US and UK. I know that you can set it to search Australia but it should be default, I should not have to reset this on every search, Question why are you trying to make my shopping experience default? Most time when I find a item I like , I have to search past 4 layers of ads, with the seller info all over the place on the page, most times I have to scroll half page to see where the item is shipped from, and sometimes I forget to check, then I find out after paying the item is located in china and could be 3 months to receive it, grrr... I would like to be able to set my account to Australia default search and when there is no product in australia you list international below. Another thing is, I can search for a item, looking for the best deal then when I pay for a item, you show me a cheaper and better product after I had searched for over week at times, and them items never come up until I had brought something similar, and when your buying expensive items that is a 1 off buy, I kick myself for buying the other item and think I should not of brought it. Have to say this dose frustrate me.
