Excessive sales listings
Summary: denisjoss expresses his dissatisfaction with a seller who posts more than 10,000 items on eBay, which buries other sellers' listings. He regrets that the feature for filtering specific sellers has been removed and asks whether such an option could be restored or whether a limit on listings could be introduced. Anonymous User suggests contacting eBay directly, but denisjoss has already received a negative response from them. lingma85 advises checking sellers' reputations and understanding that the site allows professional sellers to post in bulk. Another participant, francexpressdeal, points out that it is possible to filter using advanced search, although this is not always persistent. denisjoss thanks them for the information and promises to try again.
Hello everyone
What do you make of a seller who puts more than 10,000 items up for sale all at once? (First Day Covers CEF envelopes, in this case) including several in multiple copies.
In the past, you could exclude one or more specific sellers from your alerts. That’s no longer possible today.
Bottom line, I delete the message right away; I’m not going to look through 10,000 items that have no chance of interesting me.
So it’s detrimental for sellers who were unlucky enough to post their listings on the same day!!
How can we get eBay to restore the ability to block listings from a specific seller? (You can do it, but only on the open search; it isn’t saved for the following days).
And get them to limit the number of simultaneous listings to a reasonable level (100 per day?)?
Thanks

·1 year agoHello @denisjoss
What you're asking for seems to go against the possibilities the site offers sellers who have a lot of items.
They have the option to upload a large number through importing items from another site with the help of Excel files and the like... In general, these are professional sellers...
Before getting upset about the number of listings posted online which are, therefore, accepted by the site.... it's better to check the seller's credibility with a quick look on the web where you may be able to find them and see what their reputation is...
Best regards

Thank you for your reply.
My question is not calling into question the seller's reputation; he has a lot of completed sales and a very good rating level. Simply, what he offers by the thousands are items that don't personally interest me and that overwhelm those of other sellers who might interest me.
That is why I would like to be able to filter, which used to be possible and which I don't understand why eBay removed, since this option exists on another major collecting site.
Kind regards

by using advanced search, you can exclude sellers:

OP1 year agoThank you very much
I had done this tweak back then, but it seems to have been disabled. I just tried it again. We'll see.
Kind regards and happy end of the year

You need to ask ebay; on this forum we can't do anything.

OP1 year agoThanks for your reply, but I already did that. Generic, terse response: "No, that’s no longer possible" (blacklisting a seller)
