  • I've used the tool for several years, and it worked brilliantly. I could check for items up to 48 hours in advance . . . probably more, if I was so minded.

    The new version is PANTS. It won't save my postcode, and on a bad day will only offer items for the next hour, with no opportunity to load more. Once in perhaps 10 tries did it allow me to load more, up to a total of 24 hours.

    If this sounds grumpy,:mad: it's because I've reported this using the report button in the app at least 5 times, and never had any reply.

    PLEASE return to the original version which worked so well for so long. If it ain't broke, don'tfix it.

    I have used this this site for several years. However, now, when I use it, I only get one page of results - usually within 24 hours. Clearly there are many more results, so why can I not see them?

    I have used this site for ages. But now I only can access 1 page with less than 24 hours on items. Absolutely useless. Cannot MSE revert to the former format which showed ALL the items within a specific radius of one's postcode? Otherwise it is not worth using.

    Jenny,

    I can only access ONE page of results, with usually less than 24 hours to go. It is USELESS if one cannot see all the available items within a certain distance on one's postcode. Please go back to the former system - it was much better. I rarely use your site now, as it gives me such a limited response.

  • NEW SITE UPDATE

    I have been using the tool for many years, and it worked absolutely fantastically - I could search for items up to several days in advance . Well done..............It was brilliant!

    However, this new version is absolutely rubbish. It doesn't save my postcode and even more infuriatingly it will only offer items for the next few hours (or even just an hour sometimes), with no opportunity to load more.

    Apologies If this sounds grumpy, but this is because I've loved using this app previously and have found it to be one of the best and most useful aids to using Ebay ever. It's been 'tampered' with to the point where it is now barely worth using. PLEASE go back to the original version which worked so well for so long.

    Please forgive the cliche, but IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!!

    I use this tool a great deal, but unfortunately I can only get the first page - aka up to+/- 1 day to go. I used to be able to see everything that was offered to the end of time - aka 4/5 days in advance. Why can I no longer see more than 24 hrs of items for sale?

    Having seen some of the comments, I think MSE Local Deals needs to get its act into gear and let folk see ALL the available offers. Or doesn't MSE care any more? Really not sure these days.

    The new MSE listing is awful. One can only see items with less than 24 hours on the clock. Not good enough.
