Exclude: trollandtoadstore . . . as they seem to have swamped eBay with their inventory.

The negative search is a big help but I keep running out of room (I think you can only eliminate 10 sellers). I know that taking out Buy from my searches for books cut the listings in half when I first did it.

What's the syntax for the seller exclude?  I would LOVE to not have to sift through T&T's ton of crap.

If you are using the USA version it is simply an option in the advanced search. Check the From Sellers heading and make sure you bring down the tiny sub menu for the exclude. It still limits it to ten sellers.
