Ebay Search: Local COLLECTION ONLY Items

Hi guys and girls,

I do not post much but enjoy reading the forum almost daily :)

My question, is it possible to do a search on ebay for say all items within a 25mile radius that have collection only as the postage option?

I have had a play around with the advanced search and cannot find anything.

Thanks,

Chris

    go to advanced search, put "collection only" or "pick up only" in the search box, including the quote marks.

    Tick the option, Items Near Me, and put in how many miles radius you wish to travel, 25mi etc.

    And towards the bottom of page change Type of Seller to Private.

    Then search...should show all items available.

    Or log in, view say bedroom furniture and where it says search by - rather than ending soonest - change to nearest.

    Remember every seller inputs their postal code to be found in the search results... so some local sellers appear as "blank" miles away, ie the last few results of the "sorted by nearest" although they are amoungst nationwide sellers so its hard to sift them out.

    I do this search and i've picked up so many little gems with it. Just copy and paste into the search bar and tick the 'search title and description' box. And choose the distance radius on the left.


    (cash on collection, buyer must collect, collection only, free to collect, buyer collects, heavy to post, no postage, pick up only, unable to post, buyer collect, needs to be collected, Collection in Person, collections only, to collect, collector only, can't post)
