Hi all, we've built a new Local eBay Deals Mapper tool find pick-up only bargains near you.

If you could let us know what you think, that would be fab. How are the results for you? Is there anything you'd like to see added?

Thanks for your help!

    That is an excellent search tool! Especially like the map that opens when 'Where' is clicked.

    Just had a play about and it was working fine for me, I compared my search with https://www.localbargainfinder.co.uk.


    I used a 15 mile search radius, but alas nothing of a bargain for me today.

    I love it! Its a lot more user friendly with the map as I live near a river and am often told an item is only 10miles from me but that is as the crow flies/swims. Having to drive around the river means it is more likely to be 30miles away.
    Great idea, well done MSE

    a keyword version would be useful.. instead of selecting a category being able to enter exactly what you are searching for.. eg fiat punto or grandfather clock or piano
    Indecision is the key to flexibility :)

    It works,but you dont really need these 'tools'
    you can set up these searches with eBay and save them
    also you can then set up email notifications on these searches
    ("cash on collection", "buyer must collect", "collection only", "no postage", "pick up only", "unable to post", "needs to be collected", "Collection in Person only", "can't post")
