Is it possible to filter results based on location?

Hi Raquel,

Somebody had the very same request a while ago. When I looked into it, I discovered that the eBay API does not support this. It only support filtering results to a country, a region of countries or items available for pickup within a given radius of a zip code/postcode. The latter is a bit limiting as it will only return items that are available for local pickup, and is not a filter I’ve exposed within the Fast eBay Listings plugin UI because of this.

As such, it would not be possible for me to implement a filter by US State in the plugin.

Thanks for the reply. I’d like to suggest considering adding “local pickup” as a filter. I’m promoting items that are large and must be picked up, so this would be helpful for displaying specific items that my clients are looking for.

Got it, I’ll try and prioritise this feature for a release in the near future.

All the best, Arthur.

This turned out to be pretty straightforward to implement and is now done! Check out the new plugin version 2.12.13 which includes geographic search filters on shortcodes and blocks. You can stipulate a pickup postal/zip code and radius, which when set will only display items available for pickup within this radius.

Note, when the pickup filters are set only eBay items marked as available for pickup will be returned. It will also override the Search Location filter that returns items deliverable to given regions.

I hope that serves your needs, let us know if you encounter any issues or have further feedback. If you find this new functionality useful, do consider leaving a review for my plugin, it would be much appreciated.

Arthur.

Great, I’m excited to try this out! Thanks so much for the update!
