How to block some vendors from my search results

[thoughtballoon66]

For several different reasons, my searches occasionally turn up results from vendors I don't want and will never buy from. It's irritating, and it also can push more desirable results down the list. Is there a way to block a vendor from future results?

You cannot simply block a seller the way that a seller can block a bidder or buyer, but you can exclude the seller's items from appearing in a specific search.

From your search results, go to the Advanced Search page to the seller section, select "only show items from" and then check "exclude". Enter up to ten seller usernames separated by commas and hit "search". Then bookmark or save the search results.

If you use the bookmarked or saved search results as the basis for further searches, you can continue to exclude those sellers' items from your results.

Thanks for the answer. I accept that it's correct, but what a rigamarole to accomplish something that a better service would reduce to a single command.
