Because of postage costs from some regions of the world, I thought it would be handy if the option to search by a specific country would make a handy search option, as well as worldwide. It also helps buyers have a more targeted approach to their search. Just my thoughts as a buyer.

@joabar_219,
These are community boards for eBay usersโฆ not boards where eBay engage with eBayers. Suggesting things here will get responses from fellow eBay users, but not from eBay staff.
But in any event, eBayโs position re user feedback isnโt encouraging.
โAt eBay, we appreciate comments from our members on our products and services. But we have a long-standing policy of not accepting unsolicited suggestions, ideas, or proposals.
[โฆ]
eBay is always pleased to hear from members of the eBay community and welcomes their comments regarding eBay's products and services. However, eBay's long-standing company policy does not allow eBay to accept or consider ideas, suggestions, proposals or materials other than those eBay has specifically requested. โ
TRANSLATION:
โWe appreciate commentsโ and โeBay is always pleased to hear from membersโ = No, we donโt and arenโt. (This is just placatory fluff.)
โlong-standing company policy does not allow eBay to accept or considerโ โฆ โnot accepting unsolicited suggestionsโ = We really donโt, except when we create a specific questionnaire framed so as to get the answer we want.
You can send eBay a suggestion (thereโs a link on the page Iโve referenced), and you might as well do that instead of humming โTen green bottlesโ.
But I do have a practical suggestion: search using the lowest price incl postage filter rather than โbest matchโ (which is anything but best match).

Thank you for your reply. Interesting that just after posting this I recieved a survey from ebay that allowed for suggestions. Weird.
