When shopping for collection only items like cars for example on eBay, I wish they'd round up the item location to the county or general area. Every single time I see something I might want to buy but wonder if I can economically get there and the location is listed as something like 'Treddiog'. Never 'London' or 'North Derbyshire' etc, forcing one to come out of eBay to open up Google Maps to find out where the **** Treddiog is.

Just search within a certain radius or sort items by distance, that’s what I do.

I bet if I lived within ten miles of Treddiog I still wouldn't know where the **** it was...

If you click on the name, it opens a map for you in eBay.

OTOH, I really hate it when people list their location as “London”. That can be 10 minutes down the road or 2 hours drive away.

I wish there was a way to sort the results of a search by delivery time - I hate having to scroll for ages to find the one I can get quickest..

Yep, that function has been there as long as I remember.

Take a look down the left hand pane and you will see all sorts of filtering options that will blow your mind.
