Same problem with my searches. The only way I have been able to get any location information to show up seems to be to sort by distance (the distance field is then displayed) ... but this is not how I want to sort the results. Is this some form of trial by ebay in how many complaints they get? Ebay does not seem to mind wasting users time !

Top right - Customise View. Tick Seller Information. And anything else you want to show. Save.

On my search results, there is no item location indicated if the location is Australia, but on OS listings, underneath the title is From Hong Kong (or China, US etc).

I've noticed the same thing. Once you get used to it, it's an easy way of knowing who's in Aus.

I want to know a bit more than just aus sellers & o/s sellers. The listings used to have specific locations, like Gold Coast, Sydney etc under the pictures. What about peopel looking for local pick up items.

What about peopel looking for local pick up items.

For that, you need to refine searches by distance. Click Choose More under location, and set the appropriate distance (eg within 25km of your postcode).

Not quite as good, as it excludes all listings for items located further than that distance, but still fine if looking exclusively for pick-up items and at least you know all the items shown in the results are within a distance you're prepared to travel.

Hi UI have been fight this for months . some days I have it others I havent . I had it for about 3 days now its gone again . I wish Ebay would fix this and leave the site alone . I am like you and have to waste lots of time looking at things now that dont have there location and distance only to find they are miles away . The only way to see where they are is to type in nearest first but then it tells you the ks away but you cant have newest listed and nearest first in the one search. JUST leave it alone Ebay its very confusing even when you try and tell them on live chat . PLEASE someone help us.

You may have to call eBay again, no one here can give any more help than they have done already. Mine is fine perhaps it is a problem with pc?? clear cach and cookes, use firefox as browser??

Item locations is not appearing for me

Means I have to go through the rigmarole of asking seller for item location

Sellers seem to be very sharp these days, don't they ? No 'hi' or preliminaries. No 'bye'

Maybe sellers are under the impression their item's locations is visible. Can just imagine them whining about 'blind' tyre-kickers wasting their time

Ebay becomes less pleasant with each passing day

I agree, Item location saves a lot of time searching !.

How about a warning in the future before too many things change !
