    You can blackball anyone.....buyer or seller. Click MY EBID tab above, then look in the left column OPTIONS to see blackball.
    Ta-Ta for now!

    The OP is referring to excluding specified sellers' items from search results.

    eBid's search engine has always been poor, and I can't see there being any major improvement in the future.

    How about searching with the priority "newly listed"?

    The problem that I see with having a blocked seller function would be that it could result in items not showing up in searches which may give a false impression of availability or desirability of the item on eBid. Personally, I want to know of every listing that is available of something I'm searching for. I have a notebook with the user names of sellers I absolutely refuse to do business with. If that list becomes too long for me to check manually, it might be that the site has become over crowded with undesirable sellers and I need to search for another site to shop on.

    I agree in that I wouldn't wish to see a total block option (like the buyer blacklist) but I feel the option to filter out sellers from a search result could be useful in getting results relevant to that unique search.

    Like watching paint dry!!!

    When, oh when, will I be able to block a seller(s)please, please, please?

    It is biased toward the sellers who can block me, but I can't block them... unfair!

    As someone who spends considerable time on the eBay boards, I'm not aware of any way to block seller's items from coming up in search other than setting up specific searches to not show the specific seller. Is this what you're referring to?
