Eliminate "fits " from ebay searches

[Paul Tesone]

I'm getting tired of scrolling down page after page of car cover , wheel , and fuzzy dice auctions when looking for items for my car on ebay . I recently read a post in which I think someone described how to eliminate those auctions which contained the description " fits ....". However ,I can't find the post . Can anyone direct me to the post or tell me how to do it ? Thanks , Paul Tesone ...CLC #6876

All you have to do in the search box is type in Cadillac 19?? -fits -cover or any other word you want omitted.

Thanks Joe - also found the post I was looking for . Phil Terry responded to this issue last July . He advised putting -:fits, ( minus...colon..."fits"...comma ) before keyword searches . Also seems to work if placed after keyword searches . Thanks Phil .... Paul Tesone ..CLC#6876

Also, if you click on the "Advanced"  near the search button, it will open a box that you can fill with words to eliminate. Typically, I omit fits and cover, and the list is narrowed enough for me.
