Must be new.  I bought an axle from somehwhere, looked on the map, 20mins drive.  Bought it, found his village had the same name and it was 175 miles away!!!!!!!!!!!  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Still, two defender axles for £50 it was worth the drive

I've used it before with a postcode:

Only show items within x miles of <postcode>

But it didn't always work so it excluded some which I new were local, but the system couldn't identify their address and so it couldn't work out how far they were away  :?

Its been there for about a year but unlike ebay they didnt advertise the fact it was there.  The "distance from postcode" is okay but relies on the seller giving the full and correct postcode and keeping their details up to date.
