Homeboyks | 30 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Tried to use ebay solds but nothing has come up in such a long time that I don't really have any clue what something like this would go for. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboyks | 30 Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Apparently I'm dumb and literally the most recent sale was a black board version for 450 USD. Gotta stop using ebay.ca for this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW | 713 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) it's not just using ebay.ca, you have to use ebay.com and set your shipping address to some random US zipcode. If your shipping address is set to Canada, you won't see listings that only ship to the US. Edited April 18, 2021 by AdamW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamW | 713 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 yes. eBay searches only shows results that offer shipping to the shipping address you have set (the zip/post code set as "Shipping to:" at top right of the result list for a search). So if you search European listings with your usual US shipping address, for instance, you won't see quite a lot of listings that only offer shipping within Europe. If I want to see US listings that don't offer shipping to Canada I set my shipping location to zip code 90210... You can always access a listing that doesn't offer shipping to your location if you have the item ID or a direct URL link. But search results won't show them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see what it picked under "Shipping to:" at top right: that's me, not logged in, searching ebay.com for 'pokemon emerald'. You can see it autodetected a Canadian postal code for me. That's not my postal code, but it is in the ballpark. If I leave it like that, the results will only include listings that offer shipping to Canada, I won't see ones that only ship within the US.

That's super lame, what if I'm searching just to get information or looking at past sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Bring back the days of global.ebay.com. They dropped this website a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
