Title: New Improved Ebay search, once again working as intended. [Sarcasm]
Post by: Liisa-Sx on April 26, 2010, 04:38:43 AM

I guess the Ebay search by distance really DOES work [Sarcasm]

For the record I repeated this search 3 times checking closely that the 50KM radius was still checked, same result.

I did this search for a "bench" within a 50km radius in "Sydney", and I get a Queensland Pickup, I guess they moved Mackay a lot closer over the weekend lol.

Good to see Everything on Ebay is working properly as usual.

Is it any wonder we cannot find anything.

Hi Liisa , that is because this seller originally set up there account as them being in Wangi Wangi NSW
(wherever that is but I am guessing within 50km of Sydney ie within  the perameters of your search )
 
that search engine works based on post codes and so although they have changed the location on this item to Mackay Qld they havent keyed in their new post code so it searches on the post code that is still in the memory of their account

if this seller wants their items to show correctley in the searches they will need to show the correct post code for Mackay

Had a look where Wangi Wangi was .... It's north of Morriset, inland from Swansea.

Heading 50km towards Sydney - as the crow flies - doesn't even get you to Woy Woy.
