    Checkout my latest bargain. a 4 foot fish tank stand for 6p!

    6p!! Try finding one for that price in the shops!
  • not been on the local bargain site for a few weeks and it seems to have changed!

    previously it showed items under £75 , within 10 mile radius of me........now it just lists the items under £75, but doesnt give any indication of distance, until I click on the actual item to see its location.

    have ebay changed their layout?

    Is it this site you mean? http://www.localbargainfinder.co.uk/ ? When I open it up, the first page gives me a place to put my post code followed by a drop-down list of 'distance in miles'.
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!
  • yep, its the same site, but its changed!

    put in CB6 2WW and it comes up with 89,000 items for sale under £75!under 10 mile radius

    used to be able to click the option box to find items 'nearest to you' , but that seems to have vanished from the choice now:confused:
  • oh lilymia79....what an angel!

    back to the old set up again, many thanks:T

    No problem :)

    Did you get it to work just by changing your postcode to lower case letters and removing the space or did you have to opt of of the new ebay search?

    nice but how can you search for all items etc
    Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself. :)
