The item location is not working. I put in within 50klms of my postcode, but get worldwide. Very frustrating

Is it possible there currently are no listings within 50km of your postcode for what you are looking for?

I am seeing similar results when searching in the US: a search that is limited to within a certain radius of a postal code returns results throughout the world, regardless of the number of results found in that area. Sorting by Nearest First indicates there are local results that satisfy the search; it is just that the search is not filtering out any results outside the chosen radius.

See this US thread:

Having similar problem. My distance filter has not worked for a week. I purchase large items so they must be near home. At the moment I am getting items from all over Australia. I have contacted eBay with no joy as yet.
