Sellers other items not showing items correctly

[c-yag]

Why does the sellers other items links not work to show all the other items?. Often it says they have so many other items and when I click to see the next page says 0 other items. Or it will only show 23 not related to my search when the number beside their items for sale is over 100 for example. Often sellers have more than one similar item and I would like to see them all if I click the link. Most of the time even the original item that I started looking up does not show in the listing of items for sale.

I am a collector and feel that I am missing a lot but still have to put up searching through thousands of other non-related but promoted items but am blocked from searchingfinding what I want. Even when sellers say check my other listings for a similar puzzle, for example I cant find it. Its not worth the time anymore to bother with ebay if I keep getting re-directed to stuff I don't want.

>>I could not find the "&LH_PrefLoc=" in other listings to change it

If that parameter isn't already in a search URL for you to change the value, you can just add it to the end.

That worked the one time but I could not find the "&LH_PrefLoc=" in other listings to change it.

If it's not already in the URL, you can just paste it on to the end. There should be a way to bookmark an advanced search page with that switch -- so that if you start from that search, you won't have to paste anything or run the search multiple times from different sites.

Something like this, maybe:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/ebayadvsearch?_sacat=0&LH_PrefLoc=2

I see that I have the PrefLoc=2 on the end of my advanced search-I am assuming this is a code for worldwide???. IT is when I open an item in a seperate window that I lose it and can't add to the html.

Adding "&LH_PrefLoc=2" (or changing the existing number to "2" if that variable is already part of the search URL) should convert a search to a worldwide search -- at least that's how it works for me. I can't guarantee that it will work everywhere or in all cases. If the search URL ends in a "?", drop the "&", like this:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/ebayadvsearch?LH_PrefLoc=2

IT is when I open an item in a seperate window that I lose it and can't add to the html.

If you start all your new searches from the bookmarked URL above, the results should be worldwide searches, unless you alter the Item Location filter -- in which case you will have to go back to the bookmark again to do a new worldwide search.
