Why have you removed the ability to select 'Australia Only' from category searches?
Summary: The discussion focuses on the removal of the 'Australia Only' location filter option in eBay searches and challenges faced by users as a result. geoffusan reported that the option disappeared and items were listed in US dollars instead of the local currency, attributing this to eBay's system issues, which were resolved after signing out and restarting the browser. sandypebbles remarked that the option was still available, while twyngwyn clarified the issue might be related to being on the wrong eBay site (.com instead of .com.au). Users expressed frustration with eBay's support and the platform's outdated issue-tracking system.
It is incredibly frustrating considering you convert USD to AUD in the listings, you click on something only to find out it is in (predominantly) the US. Why would you remove the 'Australia Only' sorting option? Seems eBay just likes to continually make things harder and harder for buyers.

Here we have a thread started a year ago, up near the top of the page, with a lovely little yellow rectangle to tell us this is Unanswered.
Also with a nice little note at the bottom to tell us the last reply was on July 5, 2026.
So of course I had to check it out and yes, loads of answers. And there were answers last year too.
Wouldn't it be nice if somehow, the ebay tech experts who tweaked this board could give us some features we actually want and which would work?

·1 month ago · EditedYep. I wish I had a dollar for every time I have requested eBay/Bevy/anyone FIX such issues
Of course the answer is crickets
George's bot summary fails to achieve anything in getting it fixed
Just like Aerosmith , They Don't Wanna Fix A Thing

This just disappeared a few days ago as a sorting option and many of my searches for products now list prices in US$ even when they are in Australia.

The option is still there
And Australia only does not mean what you think it does

·1 year agoIt's still there, but it does not mean Australian only sellers, it means that the items are available on eBay Australia.

·2 months ago · EditedIt has now disappeared for me as of a few days ago. And I'm getting items that are located in Australia listed in $US!! Item location option is now non-existent.

·2 months agoInteresting since I only used it yesterday
And it is still where it always has been
Then again, I know what 'item location, Australia' actually means, so I do not attempt to use it in any other way than what it means
You cannot use something that has never existed
No point in dragging up a thread from over a year ago to post nonsense
