Re: ebay mobile app changes frustrating!

feisty_vixxen · ‎25-11-2013

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.

feisty_vixxen · ‎25-11-2013

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.

bigbrickshop · ‎25-11-2013

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.

Thanks Dave...forgot that you can go internet rather than app...duh! 😃

Since updating the eBay app on my iPhone the settings on "my feed" have changed to show items all from USA or Canada, I don't like this as it always used to show things from Australia. Does anyone know how to change this? It's really annoying as I used to love looking through items on my feed but now I don't bother as it's all stuff from overseas!
