Using wildcards for a search

I am trying to find an ebay seller ID (for a ebay store)( using only one word in their name.  

Can I do a search using wildcards? 
For example, if I know the ebay seller ID has the word bath in it, I tried a search of: *bath*

(So, if it worked,  it would match ebay seller IDs such as:  bedbath,  bathNThings, bath, hotbath, etc.)

But this doesn't work.

It seems like 15 years ago wild card searches don't work.

Or perhaps there is a way to do wild card searches.

Can somebody help?

Re: Using wildcards for a search

If you have done business with this seller, look in your feedback received as well as Purchase history, and see if you can find the seller that way.

Re: Using wildcards for a search

Search for items by seller username on the Advanced Search page must be exact username only.

 

eBay does not support wildcard searches. But searches for stores are a special case.

 

If you search for a store by keyword, eBay will find stores with that keyword in the name here:

Store search may run into problems if the seller did not put spaces between the words, though, so it may be worth trying a few variations.
