Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I recently purchased 2 items from a seller who had them listed as pick-up only, so no postage costs were included in the listing. Emails prior to auction end clarified tht the seller would be happy to post at purchase...
I hate the clutter of the "feed" on the home page. How can I get rid of it so the Ebay interface becomes more usable again, please?
