Blocking ebay seller's items from listing?
November 12, 2013 2:08 AM   Subscribe

Is there a way to automatically block an ebay.co.uk seller's items from showing up in the search results? I'm hoping for a greasemonkey script, but I'll take whatever works.

There's an "Advanced Search" that will let me exclude particular sellers, but it only works on a per-search basis. I want something that will work automatically to remove or hide or in some way make inaccessible the results from a particular seller.

Best answer: The new ebay search refinement is called "Followed Searches". It is basically a Saved Advanced Search.

You have done the first part right in the advanced search. The final step is to define it as a followed search in the search results page. This solution will not exclude users from a general search.

- Create a search
- Click on ADVANCED search setup.
- Enter your parameters including excluded users
- Run the search.
- In the results page, Click "Follow this search".
- Now, under the "My Ebay" menu, you can return to that Followed Search and even adjust it there.

The end result is a saved search with the particular person excluded each time that search is run.

Here is the specific page.
