Is there a way to EXCLUDE sellers in a search or category view???

[juicydrupes]

Example - Guitar Parts...there are vendors who have like 500 guitar picks listed - page after page after page! Really annoying when browsing by category. Other vendors seem to have hundreds of listings of the same guitar - over and over. Totally kills the shopping experience. 

So - is there a way to exclude certain sellers from searches or categories???

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.

If you want to browse a category and exclude sellers, try searching the category using the category name as your search keyword(s).

As noted, you can use Advanced Search to exclude up to 10 specific sellers from your search results, and you can save the search.  

You can also set a price range, such as choosing a lower limit that will exclude listings for picks. And you can use a negative sign to exclude terms from search; maybe that would help with the repeat guitar listings.

Many times, these sellers are from China. You could search US only as well.

@juicydrupes,

The best way to avoid those many repetitive listings often by the same sellers who are located in China as @chevymontecarlo88  pointed out, is to not shop using the Best Match or Price: lowest.. first, filters. 

  If you are doing a "Guitar Parts" general category only search. You might get more relevant results by searching for specific parts for specific guitars and maybe by the manufacturers.
