Hi all

I have my searches on the bay consistently polluted by zillion of stupid BIN auction of superb gear for ridiculous prices from the same seller - you know who I am talking about...:rolleyes:

Is there an option of filtering a specific seller?

Thanks

Michael

Easy just find a term specific to that seller, and enter this is your search as
with a minus sign. e.g. "-Michael"

I do it all the time.

The only reason that I don't filter out a certain seller is because I occasionally like to gawk at the selection of rare items that they list. My normal strategy is just to skip ahead 3 or 4 pages, bypassing their tedious listings.

Conversely, if you want to make sure all items in a search are considered, use a "+" sign between them.

Basic Boolean search techniques work very nicely.

I allways use -opt to rid myself of Mr. "Opt Perfect."
But I think that's a different annoying seller.

You can also make a "Favorite" search, and exclude certain ebay members
