Question
Hi Everyone!
Has the My Local/Hometown/Buyer Pick-Up Auction on eBay disappeared? I took pics and was ready to list a piece of furniture (too big & costly to ship)in eBay's "pick-up only in my area" auction, but I can't find it! Am I doing something wrong?!!!
Any info you can send my way will certainly be appreciated!
Thanks, and have a great summer!

***Updated: Distances Sort and Filter - First Phase***
Date: 06/17/04 Time: 10:16:02 AM PDT
We are pleased to announce that the first phase of the Distances Sort and Filter feature has now been introduced to the site. Sellers will now be asked to provide their ZIP code during the listing process instead of their Region. For more information, please see our previous announcement directly below.
Note: During this transition, buyers can still filter by Items Near Me. On any search or listings page, look in the left navigation column for the "Search Options" section. Click on the "customize" link and add "Items Near Me" as a filter. When the new ZIP code-based sort is turned on (in phase two), the "Items Near Me" filter will be removed.
Regards,
eBay

***Original: Coming Soon: Distances Sort and Filter***
Date: 06/10/04 Time: 01:33:35 PM PDT
Starting next week, we will start phasing in a new feature that will allow members to sort their search results by distance from their ZIP code. This will replace the ability to search by Regions and for "Items Near Me", and will give buyers a better way to find items that are within a preferred distance, or those that are more difficult to ship. We will be introducing this feature in two phases.
Phase One - How This Affects Sellers
Next week, sellers will be asked to provide their ZIP code during the listing process instead of their Region. To make this as easy as possible for sellers, we will pre-populate the seller's ZIP code on file for new listings. Sellers will still be able to specify their Item Location. Please note that ZIP codes will not be shown anywhere on the item page or in search or listings.
Phase Two - How This Affects Buyers
Near the end of June, buyers will be able to sort by "Distance: nearest first" in search and listings by using the drop-down menu directly above the listings. Items across country borders (such as those located in Canada) will now also be included in this distance sort. A new distance filter will also be added to Advanced Search.
The distances provided will be in 5-mile increments and are direct distances, not driving distances. Turbo Lister will support this feature in late June, and it will be added to eBay Motors in July.
Please Note: Once the distances sort and filter has been fully introduced to the site in phase two, members who have Saved Searches using "Items Near Me" will have to update them (due to "Items Near Me" being removed). During the transition period (from mid-June to around the beginning of July), new listings will also not be returned when "Items Near Me" is used.
