Hi John,
I've not encountered these problems myself mainly because it's not the way I
search on ebay. I have though just done a quick search on ebay for acoustic
guitars within 50 miles of my location in Carlisle. I also selected the buy
it now only ones. My results were mainly all in cumbria.
I'm using jaws and did exactly the following.
Put in your main search string first, acoustic guitar in your example, press
enter. You can then select from the sub categories if you wish. Using the
'c' key to go to the next combo box, I pressed this to find the combo box to
select the level of distance. There's an edit box near it and you do need
to make sure that the correct post code is in there. Then press space bar
on the go button. That'll give you all the local results. Bringing up a
list of links after this will allow you to select the buy it now option.
You should then only get the items you can buy or make best offers on.
Using the 'c' key though did bring up a plethera of options such as brand,
no of strings, left or right handed etc.
Hope that helps John.

Subject: [access-uk] Problem with Ebay?
Hello,
A couple of weeks ago, having been able to make many narrowing down changes
to what is displayed after doing a search for something, e.g.
"acoustic guitar", I find that Ebay has either changed its webpages or NVDA
can no longer view these options.
For example, you used to be ablel to do a search for "acoustic guitar"
and then, from the massive worldwide list that came up, use CONTROL NVDA KEY
F to search for and activate a "uk only" link. You could then do anothe
search for "auction" and narrow the list down further to guitars being
auctioned and not sold at a fixed price. You could then even locate a
dropdown combobox and select to get the list displayed in order of what time
the auction would be finished from soonest to last or get those guitars
nearest to where you live displayed first for personal pick-up purposes.
You could also go to a combobox and get lots displayed within a given
distance from where you live only, e.g. within 5 miles, 15 miles, etc.
You could also activate a "completed Listings" link to see what had sold and
not sold recently with prices, etc.
None of the above can now be done on Ebay pages with NVDA and I think this
is the same with JAWS.
Does anyone know what they have done with these options or are they there
but now, for whatever reason, not visible to screenreaderrs?
Are other people experiencing this same problem?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.
John.
