Has anyone else been having issues with the ebay app for mobile? I use Android and there is no filter for Australian only sellers when browsing categories. I find this dreadful as I choose to buy from Australian sellers only to keep $$$ local and also cut down on overseas postage costs. I know I can filter via distance, but I'm not very satisfied with the new changes for the mobile app

Oh no, I thought any changes they made might have been for the better. I don't like the app much either as a seller. However I've discovered that you can click on the "classic site" link on the bottom of the app pages and go to the regular ebay website. It is a bit combersom on a phone, but at least it works and gives all the search options as well as combined shipping.

Thanks E-K but I can't find "classic site" on app...and its default sort method is Best Match and I can't find a way to change to time ending soonest. So by the time I change Shop Local to max distance of 1,000km to get Australian sellers only, then change to Time Ending soonest, some pretty good bargains may have slipped through the cracks.
I'm not intending to be a whinger, however if my buying experience and 'your' selling experience is being effected by these changes then hopefully something can be done.

If you scroll dpwn to the bottom of the page you should see the option for viewing the classic site.

I have no idea if the iPhone app is the same but when I do a search there's a Refine button top right of screen and I can select Sort order, Location etc.

nope, no classic site option, from top to bottom when I open ebay app for android:
search
my ebay : categories : sell an item
reminders
messages
saved searches
saved sellers
my feed
ebay deals
shop gifts
my (my feedback #)
settings
in none of these options is there a classic view, nor Australian only.

What about when you select Search? Are there any refinement options?

If you forget about the app, which is essentially useless, and do a search for eBay Australia, that should bring up the mobile site. The classic view is definitely available from that.
