    Hi I am looking use ebay but only in Northern Ireland I am not the most techie person in the world and would like some advice. Ebay.ie doesn't seem to have NI and ebay.co.uk won't allow me to separate NI from the rest of the Uk. Any advice ?

    :D Join both. Living in the NI you will have a UK postcode and most retailers will be happy with that. Some will only post to the 'mainland' usually flammable items which cannot be air freighted.

    I want to search ONLY NI ! Not the republic or mainland uk. There seems to be no option on either site to search only Northern Ireland and that's what I need to do.
    Thanks

    :D The Irish and UK websites are not strictly separated anyway - you will find a lot of UK items on the ebay.ie site.

    I think your best option is to sort by distance or narrow a search using your postcode. Unless your looking for collection only items, there's little to be gained from narrowing yourself to NI. Some sellers may not want send to NI, but for the most part, sellers would include NI in domestic (UK) postage.

    If you are a buyer , its as easy to buy in UK , as well as NI and IRl.

    Use Parcel Motel , and items will arrive in quick time .

    I am looking at large items such as petrol tools and also for a van but the postcode thing is not working great for me to be honest.

    You can put in a distance parameter, and search only UK. That should narrow your options.
