    MissCutiepie is correct.

    Look up towards the top of the page, you should find something saying 'advanced search'. Click on that. You can then alter your settings, including distance. Hope that helps

    hi,

    i bought a toolbar link of ebay for £1 and one of the tools is a local bargain finder,..

    i have taken the link of the page and here it is..

    http://www.powersellersforum.com/localbargains/


    all you have to do it click the link on the page if your town is not on there, and the page will be updated the same day so you only have to make one click and recive all the results you want.


    hope this helps.

    just sort items by distance and they'll be in that order and you can just stop looking once it gets too far

    This is fantastic! :D Thank you for sharing this.:T
    I have long been wondering how to find local stuff, but not had the time to work it out.
    I just had a look and immediately found a dining table ending today of the type we have been looking for! Thank you again!!:T :T :T :T

    hi rose,

    its working for me,..

    try it again, and if not, email pm me, and i will see if i can work out whats up..

    otherwise use the option on the bottom of the page to email the people that run the tool, they will help.

    good luck,

    to the OP, I found this happened to me, and it was cos i hadnt put the postcode in the box (on left hand side of the page-where you select the mile radius-underneath is a box where you put in your postcode).
