Do the ebay boffins have a brain between them, because it doesn't look like they do?

The prats that designed the listing pages have decided I can't actually enter my location anymore and instead can only use my postcode which then incorrectly displays my location as The Hunter.

As I am selling a pick up only item this will severely restrict the number of locals looking at my item.

ebay have the INCORRECT location, what a bunch of prats.

I can be reported and sanctioned for putting in a false location but these ebay fools can do it to me and I can't do a thing about it.

My item is located on the Central Coast NOT The Hunter.

I wish I could say what I really think of these <bleeps>.

A careful owner carrying their wheel around the countryside in their own car is a lot different to one being handled by a courier. My personal wheel is taken on many trips but it has its place being belted into the seat behind the driver. Most owners are well aware of the ease with which wheels can be damaged but no doubt will appreciate being told the bleedin' obvious by a know it all. *insert big friendly smilie*

Bump, are your emoticons still non-functional after all this time? If so, why not create a folder on your desktop and fill it with your own selection of emoticons which you can then simply drag and drop into messages whenever you like?

For slightly to very naughty emoticons, search here... https://www.google.com.au/search?q=rude+emoticons&client=firefox-a&hs=w03&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US...

For more conventional emoticons, there are literally millions here as well... https://www.google.com.au/search?q=emoticons&client=firefox-a&hs=eKj&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&...

Yep, still not functioning.

I have been so lazy over the last couple of weeks but will get on the job of finding emoticons tonight.

I am on the Central Coast too. Some of my listings had Sydney on them and I was just able to change these to Central Coast NSW. Go to Active Listings - bulk edit -  select Item Location - and type what you want and then Save.

Tuck that is a rude thing to say - not many people understand the meaning of the word 'prat' and there are many meanings, bad and good - used very often by english people, including me

I once phoned eBay and told them I was in Canberra -- they responded, 'Yes, that's in Sydney.'

  haha, I guess they figure that is a close guess.

None of these online sites are shining lights when it comes to accuracy with locations. I don't know why not, it can't be so hard if google maps can do it.

But on gumtree recently I had a western suburbs items showing as less than 3 km away from me (it was more like about 43km away).

On Seek, it listed a job in Werribee as being in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. I was so taken with this I made a screen shot as I couldn't believe my eyes.

They're hopeless,  the whole bunch of them.

At least they are all consistently useless.
