MSE Local eBay Deals tool discussion

Just reporting back to say the price limit problem should now be fixed.

As to the wider issue about being able to search all items, our developers will look again to see what can be done within the constraints of the new eBay API, but they are juggling a number of projects at the moment so it may be a little while before they're able to pick this one back up again. 

Thanks again for all your comments - please rest assured they've been seen by the relevant people on the team here.

Thanks. Of course the search all items is the main problem, so hopefully it will be able to be fixed.

This gets sillier.
Putting in a single letter gets a very limited number of items and does not pick up all ads that include the chosen letter if it is within a word.
Now selecting an item does not link back to the ebay auction item - it gives a black screen.
Does one assume that ebay has decided to exclude MSE or can something be done?

Where are we with this now? Need to be able to search all categories , otherwise this isn't much use.

Some more good news.... On my browser (at least) if I enter (a,"e",i,o,u) as the search item once, the browser "remembers" and offers (a,"e",i,o,u) as an option every time into the search bar. So you don't need to remember this syntax: it can be easily entered every time to search for anything with an a, e, i o or u in it. All you need to do is a single left click in the search area.

If we could just rollback the MSE latest "upgrade" to the previous version, the above work-around should still work!

Where's the map icon gone?

When browsing for items local to myself, there was never any need to fill in the 'What would you like to buy?' section. Now it's changed and requires something entered in that box, making the app useless for browsing everything local. Is there any way around this?

I think we have all been really patient waiting and hoping for this fix. Any news/update please?
