Thank you.0

For those asking Why? - this is certainly a useful tool for those in a rural area where it is realistic to browse everything for sale within a few miles: something eBay doesn't let you do. eBay insists you choose categories - sometimes I'm just interested in looking at everything nearby: I might be tempted by something heavy but cheap that I hadn't realised I needed!
What would be even better would be to be able to sort on Delivery Charge (count "Collection Only" as £999, so these items come first): the higher the delivery cost, the greater the relative advantage of living nearby.0 -

um these 'tools' simply use eBays own search tools
you set the search term,and then the filters of distance etc
eg for local stuff,("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")0 -
It could do with a box at the side to tick and add to 'my watch list'
this would save quite a bit of time
BTW is this app was to buy I would pay for it, I have done out my whole house with this and my van0 -
Hi,
Brilliant tool for finding local bargains but why cant I find MY OWN item using this tool. My postcode has been entered correctly on my item. Is it anything to do with my settings on Ebay? Many thanks.0 -
you can set up these searches with eBay and save them("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")("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")(Note no spaces after the commas).Philip0

copy it into an ebay search box and try it0 -
