eBay has one feature that I do not believe any other platform has
The exclude function for searches
A simple “-“ before a keyword excludes those results
In addition to this, the “SELECT ANY IN” feature that allows you to basically chain OR filters in your search. This is accomplished by building a comma separated list of variables inside parenthesis ()
For example
If I wanted to search Ty Cobb cards from the years 1907, 1908, and 1909 while excluding T206 cards
The search would be
“Ty Cobb (1907, 1908, 1909) -t206”
Simple sweet filter magic that allows you to filter through the stuff you don’t want
I’d love to build saved searches on REA and Heritage and LOTG using that type of functionality. If this is possible and I just do not know it, please let me know!
