How to block Gostude and similar sellers

[Virgil]

Searching through Kits and Kitbuilt locomotives on Ebay incudes a long haul through the high priced sellers especially including Gostude's overpriced locos .

It appears that iti is not possible to block overpriced sellers from a search - or has anyone found a way to do so?

It's probably far quicker to just ignore anything you aren't interested in than it is to do anything about it. I get more irritated when people list 3000 things in the wrong place and i cant avoid them.

 

For what its worth ive set my saved search to order by newly listed and doesn't take long to get to what you've already seen (especially if its only 5 mins since you last frittered time looking :)

His stuff is invariably higher-priced than that of most sellers. Try ordering your search by price and you will only see stuff you can afford.

It would be hard to define what a “high” price actually is arbitrarily. I always select ‘order from lowest price and postal charges’ that seems to do the trick.

On eBay, you can use a hyphen followed by a search term as an "exclusion"

 

So I frequently add the phrase

 

-delprado 

 

To the end of my search to tell it I don't want anything that says that...  I also add 

 

-prado

 

too, just to be doubly sure...

That's helpful but will it work with a seller's name?

You can exclude at least one seller in advanced search - scroll down to sellers, click on <include> & you get the option <exclude>.

 

It's the keyword spammers I hate - at least eBay pulls their listings if you report them & eventuallu they get the message.

I've reported countless keyword spammers, never seen one pulled :(

Every single one I've reported has been pulled.
