    I do, and STOP SHOUTING!

    But why even have a Cars section on eBay.ie if all it does is list cars from the .co.uk site?

    you'd be surprised the amount of people willing to travel on a ferry to get a car and bring it back

    Then there's ebay.co.uk for them, if I was searching for a car on ebay.ie then i'd expect cars coming up to actually be in the same country.

    There's a little box on the left marked "location". You select "Ireland only". :confused:You then get to browse through all 6 that are for sale. And 4 tractors. And 4 of the six look like scammers..the other 2 are listed by nutters looking for 5k for a '91 Punto..

    eBay always works like that; if it doesnt find something in your location it will make suggestions from other locations. Click Ireland only if you dont want to see results from outside of Ireland.

    I think what the OP means is why are there only 14 Irish cars on ebay.ie when ebay.co.uk has 235,875 UK cars.
    The answer is all Irish people have been banned from ebay for telling lies:D

    Yes and it tells you it did this if it didnt find local results, right at the top of the search results. Learn to eBay OP.

    I never use eBay.ie at all except when listing stuff. Most searches I do are done on the .co.uk site because there is nothing but rubbish on .ie simples :)
