Its not that I have fallen out with anyone, but I do a lot of local searches for stuff and there is this seller who has 10,000 (ish) guitar bits for sale and I have to roll through pages of bridge pickups etc before I can find the stuff I am after.

I have looked, but I cannot see a way of blocking a seller? I know you can do this if you leave bad feedback, but can it be done just for convenience?

You have to do an Advanced Search

Scroll down to Sellers and you can then exclude user ID's

I was going to ask this as well, I hate it when you search foir 919 Fireblade and get 5 pages of blue bolt kits.

another good way of weeding out the stuff you don't need is to
type in what your after, then after it type -bridge -pickup for example.
That will then exclude any listings with the words your put a - in front of
from your search.

HTH,

Nick.

Both exclusions mentioned above should get you waht you want.


I've been in a similar situation and I set up saved searches for everything i needed. If you constrain the criteria enough, then automatic notifications from a saved search can be used really well.



On an aside, I dislike ebay trying to figure out what I mean lately. In the old days, if you typed tubrocharger, you got 0 results, or if you were lucky, 1 result which nobody else would find cause the numpty seller misspelt it. Now it auto-what it thinks you type.

Fair enough, but the other day it assumed that when I type Passat, I actually mean Golf. Which I don't, incidentally.
