Kind of OT about Ebay

Ok, I haven't used Ebay in a little while but when I type in a specific search for say 1964 PCGS I get a ton more categories to select...Is there any way to just list what has 1964 PCGS in the title? This is kind of frustrating as it wastes a TON of my time.

This is what I get for results...

I just tried your search and got 71 coins of different denominations all PCGS. I also have the option of narrowing down the search by clicking on a link on the left side of the page. Your link does the same thing for me but only with 40 results. Have you logged in? If so, might be something in your settings.

I did but the old way it would list all of teh coins without having to click Dimes, or Cents or whatever. Once clicked, I still get results that include PCGS, NGC, ICG, etc.

"1964*" "PCGS" -ngc -icg

Quotes will eliminate auction titles that do not include the given numbers/words. Using the asterisk will, in this case, include 1964 as a partial word so that listings with 1964D, 1964S, etc. will show up. Using the minus sign will eliminate whatever word follows it, in this case NGC and ICG.

Somewhere on that first page that asks you to narrow down search there should be a link that will let you change what you are getting. I remember last year when everyone was having this problem as ebay was updating search methods. Can't remember if it was a setting from that page or an "opt out" button. Search ebay discussion or help pages or you could even call ebay. I do believe you have to be logged in to get what you are looking for.

D is being asked to narrow down his search. If he types in 1964 PCGS he should get a list of all 1964 PCGS listings. He's getting an intial page that is asking him to narrow it down. This was a common problem for a lot of people last year but I can't remember how it was resolved. Maybe D should search the coin forum for last year's discussion.

your search works for me except shows 1916 instead of 1964

1) what do you want to get that you are not getting?
2) what are you getting that you do not want to get?

you can search by category/region - you have Coins & Paper Money
- I would go to US coins unless you want foreign stuff

- I have a couple searches in specific areas ->

Coins & Paper Money > Coins: US > Dimes > Roosevelt (1946-now) > 1946-64

I also make sure NOT to check the box by [Include title and description] - as this includes dealers saying -> we are dealer/members of PCGS, NGC, ICG, and ANACS

and when just title, you can go down on the left and hit the box for [completed auctions]
