How to not see classified ads
Summary: likwid101 expresses frustration with the high number of classified ads on the platform, stating it has made the site unusable for them. They emphasize the need for the eBay name and protection when making purchases and have attempted to negotiate with sellers to use an official account without success. They are looking for a solution to exclude classified ads from their searches.
I keep seeing questions on this with no answers. I literally can't use this platform anymore due to the high number of classified ads. If I wanted classified ads I'd go to facebook market place or craigslist. I come here get the ebay name and protection behind what I am buying... I've even told the person on the ad that I would pay the ebay fees if they would sell under and account and they still wont.
Literally a waste of time shopping on this site. Is there an answer to how to exclude classified ads?

MentorAug 10, 2026 at 1:35 AM@likwid101 Classified ads are limited to a few categories. What is the type of item you are looking for?
If you use the filter of Buy It Now or Auctions it should weed out the classified listings. You can also filter for Free Returns or returns accepted. Classified listings won't have these options.
