Well, true. Sellers can put a location that is not where the item is whatsoever. And it's quite frequent, especially with chinese sellers.

But still, it has some usefulness.

JohanH:
It works in advanced search options. But is really bad, because it still mixes in results from other countries. And depending on the options, at least on ebay.de, I get either results only from China or only from US, even if I select Europe or something.  :wtf: What a piece of cr@p.  :palm:

What still works seems to be if you set it to search from a certain distance from a location. So pick a large radius and it at least leaves out the results from China.

SiliconWizard:
Oh yeah, you need to use advanced search now. It's a lot less convenient.
Yet another bullshit software design to dumb things down to the maximum. Aren't you sick of that crap? :-DD
