That is indeed annyoing, I don't understand why they don't apply some sort of spam policy. That is actually reason why I'm using very rarely that ebay.

If only there were a way to block sellers in the result list. I just know someone offering chrome pedals and LED lights and instant-fit spoilers in Taiwan will never have anything I could possibly want ...

343 L Junior B14.3E MT4 (155) 229000kms 1981 (scrapped)
343 DLS B19A MT4 (155) 167900kms 1982
360 GL Injection B200F MT5 (231) 348598kms 1988 (scrapped)

Yeah, there used to be just two, maybe three pages of stuff from my search for all 300 related stuff, now there's seventeen.

You could add -bulbs or -wipers to your seach, but then you might miss something you were interested in, like "Hella grill complete with bulbs" :/

It'd be great if you could block certain sellers - I don't suppose there's a way to do this already is there? Maybe we should e-mail ebay and tell them that this spam is loosing them trade...
