advanced search option: words, usernames, etc, EXCLUDED from search results

[tlveck]

Advanced search options should have a dialogue box for words that buyers want EXCLUDED from search results, just like ebay has. And Blackball should work both ways: buyers should be able to EXCLUDE selected sellers' items from search results. Example: I just now joined ebid to buy an electric motor. Search yielded over 600 hits, but over 500 of those hits were from the same seller, hvacsurplussales, who had "zero" sales, likely because all his prices were higher than retail. Ebid not providing buyers with any means to EXCLUDE words or sellers from searches forces us to go back to ebay, where the searching is much easier, faster and efficient.

Sounds good to me.

But I have not used Advanced search all that much, so I can't comment.
(but of course we don't want ebid to be a copy of ebay!)

And if sellers are charging more than retail they are being silly to themselves, as well as not doing ebid a favour.

For that particular search, just check the box about the minimum number of feedback you want to search for.............put in 1 or 5 or whatever.....try that. good luck.
