Can we have a option to have a personal seller blacklist

[sema_874]

I sinceraly doubt I am the only one who gets tired of seeing a particualr sellers items.

In my case a seller whos stock is fradualnt but in a way that makes it past the AI blockers.

Can we have a "reverse follow" option where a sellers items are hidden from all the users searches.

If you can't ban them, block'em at least for yourself.

The item below is fake (obvious to anyone who knows opal), claimed as real, due to volume of sales, will not be likely taken down.

I agree 100%. It's annoying when they keep getting away with their schemes.

I've used the Report feature multiple times, and I have yet to see an "agent" (AI) to remove a single of the fake/counterfeit listings. 

What has worked a couple of times is that I add the listing to my watchlist, and when I get an offer, I decline it and reply with a note indicating that they are selling knockoffs.

I agree.

There have been a few sellers in the past I just never want to deal with again.

The reasons vary, not all of them for borderline criminal behaviour.

Is it time to revisit this long standing wish?

Users have been requesting an option to block sellers as long as I can remember, but the only option eBay provides is on a per-search basis using the Exclude feature under Sellers on the Advanced Search page. Users can add up to ten seller usernames separated by commas to exclude those sellers' items from search results. If the resulting search is then bookmarked or saved and used as the starting point for future searches, those sellers' items can continue to be blocked.

Be sure to use the exact seller username and not the store name. The seller username appears on the classic feedback page.

If too many seller usernames are excluded, or if there are too many other excluded search terms, the search may "break" and return no results once the search URL gets too long to be properly evaluated.

The number of usernames that can be blocked has been increased but I do not know what the new limit is.

I have 23 usernames blocked on one bookmarked search, 11 on another. Have not noticed any effect on the speed of displaying search results.
