A change to search option to allow buyers to search specific countries

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.

Re: A change to search option to allow buyers to search specific countries

@joabar_219,

 

These are community boards for eBay usersโ€ฆ 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, eBayโ€™s position re user feedback isnโ€™t encouraging. 

โ€“ https://www.ebay.com.au/help/policies/member-behavior-policies/unsolicited-idea-submissions-policy?i...

 

โAt 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.

 

[โ€ฆ]

 

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ž

 

 

TRANSLATION:

โ€œWe appreciate commentsโ€ and โ€œeBay is always pleased to hear from membersโ€ = No, we donโ€™t and arenโ€™t. (This is just placatory fluff.)

 

โ€œlong-standing company policy does not allow eBay to accept or considerโ€ โ€ฆ โ€œnot accepting unsolicited suggestionsโ€ = We really donโ€™t, except when we create a specific questionnaire framed so as to get the answer we want.

 

 


You can send eBay a suggestion (thereโ€™s a link on the page Iโ€™ve referenced), and you might as well do that instead of humming โ€œTen green bottlesโ€.

 

 

But I do have a practical suggestion: search using the lowest price incl postage filter rather than โ€œbest 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.
