being forced to buy products outside Australia due to layout and search algorithm

Disappointed at ebay site for forcing me to buy products outside Australia due to there layout and search algorithm. I find it so hard to buy in australia, I get items come up from all over the world with lengthy posting times from China or over priced shipping like from the US and UK. I know that you can set it to search Australia but it should be default, I should not have to reset this on every search, Question why are you trying to make my shopping experience default?

 

Most time when I find a item I like , I have to search past 4 layers of ads, with the seller info all over the place on the  page, most times I have to scroll half page to see where the item is shipped from, and sometimes I forget to check, then I find out after paying the item is located in china and could be 3 months to receive it, grrr... I would like to be able to set my account to Australia  default search and when there is no product in australia you list international below.

 

Another thing is, I can search for a item, looking for the best deal then when I pay for a item,  you show me a cheaper and better product after I had searched for over week at times, and them items never come up until I had brought something similar, and when your buying expensive items that is a 1 off buy, I kick myself for buying the other item and think I should not of brought it.

 

Have to say this dose frustrate me.

You are obviously not very smart  or cant read .Choosing located in Australia means nothing in the advanced settings. The words mean nothiny we are still lumbered with items outside of Australia . What a waste of time sorting through items from overseas when I will only buy if items are LOCATED in Australia .

Why wait since 2022 to have your dig?

 

Choosing Australia means nothing full stop

 

Nowhere did I mention choosing located in Australia in advanced settings

 

Quite ironic considering your attack on me

 

Maybe try reading my comment again
