I'm sure this has been discussed but....

Finally found how to block seller's from my search list(up to 10). Don't want to bore the ones that are aware, but if anyone wants the steps, pm me. This is for the constant photo juicers, stock photo users and various other nefarious sellers. Wish I could block more than 10 but at least this will reduce the number of wasted auction photos I will have to peruse.

First I've heard of this.. Please do post the steps, I don't think anyone would mind.

That is good if you want to buy basements, but not sellers.

Here you are, straight from Ebay:

EBAY: How to block sellers from buyer's search list:

You can block up to 10 sellers' items from showing up in a search result using the
filters in Advanced Search or in the left column of the search results page (More
Refinements: Seller). You find the filter where you limit the results to those of given
seller(s) and change the "Include" to "Exclude" and list up to 10 IDs in the following
text box.

You can then save the search (link towards the top left of the results) and then
access the saved search in My eBay: Saved Searches (you'll probably want to turn
off notices of new listings while you're there) changing the keywords and other
filters as needed to find what you are looking for. You can save multiple searches
with up to 10 sellers excluded in each to use for searches in different categories
(or other way to distinguish which set of sellers is most likely to have listings in
what you are searching for).

Just to let everyone know, this works like a charm. I removed 57 seller auctions in one coin date search, that were either juiced photos or stock photos.

Jim If I removed all the juiced pictures and stock photos from my seller list I’m not sure anyone would be left 😂😂. Seriously, one of my favorite sellers uses horridly touched up stock photos and can’t spell worth a dang! ( But they are someone I’ve done lots of business with). 😉

@Jzyskowski1
That, of course, is each individual's choice. I'm just glad that I can get rid of the major ones who have hundred's of juiced and/or stock photos. Obviously, 10 sellers removal will not solve the problem, but when you are searching for a typical coin's look or variety, wasting time on so many photos that do not even count is not something I care to do any more than I have to. I'm just happy to be able to have a little control.
