I figured out a way to avoid Chinese sellers on EBAY...

I just type "-replica" (minus sign before replica) in the search field....works for me and weeds out a lot of the riff raf

Im sure many of you know this already, so this is for all of you who did not know already.

Won't that eliminate any auction that has the text "this is not a replica"?

I also use the Location box and pick either US or North America sellers only.

I like to search the U.S. coins selection on ebay for coins in PCGS holders from the 1800s and the 1700s, but are not gold or Morgan dollars. I use the search:

pcgs (17*, 18*) -gold -morgan

The more you know about bolean logic, the better your searches.

I would just uncheck the title and description box and just search by title

It doesn't eliminate the replicas that are being proffered as the real thing. Thence you have to eliminate China or Asia as a search location.
