What makes it worse for buyers is that there is no way to permanently opt out of foreign listings, that I have been able to figure out. Every time you do a search, you have to go to the left-hand side and re-search US or North America only. It is maddening. I am not going to buy anything from a Chinese (or Thailand) vendor. Period. The only place I might even consider buying from outside of North America is the UK, and an irresistible opportunity to do that hasn’t come up yet. Like much else in our world, the Chinese have screwed up something that used to work just fine.
Have you tried saving your search criteria as a ‘saved search’?
I do that with sellers...I find a seller I like, and set the search criteria, do the search, and then bookmark that page. I do that to search ‘recently listed’, and I save the bookmark as ‘xxxxseller recently listed’.
Haven’t done that with searches though...don’t know if it will work.
