On Ebay.co.uk,Everytime I search, results start with those in USA
When I select UK only, it still starts with US results
When I select other boxes such as New or Auction, it resets to show US on top everytime

When I search Google Shopping, the page starts with US items Settings(inc taxes) , though the page shows my location as UK, and results are set for UK

So how do I get back to UK?
and why?

Did you leave A VPN running, or using TOR browser or something?

IP geolocation is not an exact science. What's it say here? https://www.whatismyip.com/ (don't actually post your full address in public...)

Also,

Does it do it in a different browser? Or on a different device on your home network?
