Filter changes.

What is going on with the filter search? Cannot choose scale or location eg: Australia. Make etc. Just ridiculous now. How are we suppose to fine search what we are looking for when all we get is the basic of searches and flooded with overseas results?

Shows the same as it always has for me

BUT

Not how filters work anyway

But you would need to question eBay about any changes they make

'Australia' only means the seller ships to Australia

The seller could be registered anywhere

AND the seller could say the item is here when it's not

A pointless feature to start with

You can definitely tick the box and search for 'Australia only' products but as sandy said, you need to double check seller location as the filter is for items available to Australia.

You can't set it as a default though, as far as I know. You have to keep ticking it for each new search.

As for fine tuning, what works for me, if there is something particular I am after, is to just use some of the main terms in the search box. The brand name if possible etc
