SUGGESTION: Refine by price - 'include postage' option

Hi all,


 


I have this issue that bugs me constantly, with the widely varied shipping costs especially with international sellers... I wish that ebay had an option where I could include the postage costs when refining by price. It is a bit of a pain when I have set a price limit of (for example) $35, which returns for example over 400 listings where the postage cost for a relatively small and light item can vary from (for example) $10 - $70. We would all be aware of the tactics some sellers use of offering cheap items with exorbitent shipping costs which my personal experience of ebay would suggest is a fairly common practice.


 


My suggestion would be a tick box that would include or exclude postage when refining by price... which would either include the postage in the set price limit or preferably include a second filter for max postage cost? (as just having the tick box makes little sense for setting min prices when you are trying to filter out the loads of cheap, poorly made items out of your search results...)


 


I know there are obstacles around this such as combined shipping and postage not specified, but I would still rather have the option. I would like to see how many people would like to see this implemented, hear your thoughts and experiences and also would love some information on the best way to contact ebay with this feedback if it seems popular?

The best work-around for this is to change the sort order to Price + Postage Lowest First. Use the price refinements to set a price range with a minimum (which will generally eliminate the cheap junk you're not interested in) and a maximum.
