An idea for eBay searches

Too bad you can no longer use the asterisk to search for variations on the end of a word. For instance, if you wanted to search for an item from the 1930s, you could enter 193* instead of having to type out each year in the search.

You can search for multiple years by using parentheses like this (1930, 1931, 1932, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939) You can have more than one set of parentheses per search.

Yep, you can do that but it saves time to use the asterisk, particularly when you're not using a saved search.

I would also like to exclude any listings with the term "blazer," any "estate finds" or "estate fresh" cards or anything described as "centered" that are maybe 65/35 at best.

Nothing like a destroyed off-centered card that is a blazer!

I wish we could just REMOVE/DELETE each item we are not interested in permanently! Just as easy as hitting WATCH or BID. Then when the item is relisted again and again and again we wouldn't see it because we would have already took it out of our search.
