Confused. ebay search, Worldwide to UK. Poor results.

Iv'e just done a bit of "testing" as i was sure more overseas sellers must sell to the UK, especially from the US.

logged in to ebay UK and search "the stuff i want" clicking from "worldwide" and i get really poor results.

log in to ebay US and search "the stuff i want" and there's 100's if not 1000's of results and a lot do indeed offer international shipping, also with a price for the shipping to "UK" showing too.

whats this all about?

    Use a different browser or a different device and you can get different search results also.
    Once they started manipulating search results it went downhill the same with Amazon.  I have found items from other
    websites which takes me directly to an Ebay or Amazon sales page where searching for that item shows zero results.
    Noticed that a lot of small electronic boards from China are not showing if I use ebay.co.uk but work fine from every
    other variation .com, de, ca etc etc....
