I would like to filter a certain user's items from showing up in my search. Usually I just skip, but it will be a run of 5-6 pages of his stuff straight. Anyone know of a way? P.S. - This is an ebay related question, about searching by looking at a category and not searching for anything specific. Edited by HippieOutcast

Sometimes I'd like to filter from even viewing at all  I have yet to figure out how. Searching shows entire threads in the results, though, not just individual posts. Unless I'm missing how you're searching? |

I usually sit there and open everything, refreshing the US coins category with the newly listed results. You can run across great deals occasionally, but quite sparingly. |

Stress on the sparingly part :D

What I meant was that it uses the title of the thread (or contents of replies) to show results so there may not be a way to filter out posts by a specific username. Try google with the site: parameter. If you search on: site:coincommunity.com/forum ASESee the top result is https://goccf.com/t/68149 started by zazenboy. Now search: site:coincommunity.com/forum ASE -zazenboy or site:coincommunity.com/forum ASE -"zazenboy" (for if it's a phrase and not one word) And now that post is not listed. Give it a shot and see if trims out who you don't want to wade through posts from  (By the way, I just picked the subject and username randomly as an example ) |

Oh I see. Google wouldn't work for that then, as the posts are too fresh (although Googlebot does spend an inordinate amount of time lurking here!). Not sure how you'd do that.. maybe someone else will have a suggestion. It would be good to know.

Yep, I just realized I forgot to even mention ebay, this could have been about anything! And this long week continues to get longer! |

I hear you.. If there is something unique in all his listings, you could always go into advanced search (after going to the US Coin section) and put that phrase into the "Exclude words from your search" field (and save the search to My ebay if it works out). Try using their store name or user name if they don't have a unique phrase you can use. |

Yes, you can filter out a certain seller's items in an ebay search. Go to "Advanced Search" (link right next to the search button". Scroll down to a section titled "Sellers". Click on the box that says "Only show items from". When you click on that, there is a drop down box that allows you to exclude or include a seller. Then just type in the seller's user ID. You can save this search so you don't have to do this every time. |

you can only save 10 sellers in the saved searches, I've not found the limit for the number of sellers that can be excluded by pasting in a list, I'm up to 84 UK sellers who persistently sell hundreds of rubbish coins each week. It would not be so bad if they weren't all relisted ad-infinitum.
