Is there any way you can stop ebay turning up in your search?

Question

whenever you do a search in google or yahoo or even ask, 50% of the results take you to ebay is there any way to filter it out i dont want to buy one i just want to find out about something

Answer 1

Yes... you need to change the way you do your search.  I buy gems and silver components for making jewelry, so I'm happy to check out eBay's offerings.  Out of pages and pages, I can't say I've ever seen anything close to 50% of the search result being eBay.  Maybe 5%, but I think even that's a stretch.

C'mon people... 2 of you obviously didn't read the question.  You're suggesting ways to get eBay in the search when the asker wants to STOP having eBay come up in the search.

Answer 2

just add -ebay after whatever your searching for.

Answer 3

In google type

-site:www.ebay.com

you might need to include foreign versions too

-site:www.ebay.com -site:www.ebay.co.uk -site:www.ebay.co.ei

etc

Answer 4

yes  there is   when you enter the search key word   I.e  "ipod"

simply place a "-" mark before the word you do not want to appear in the search. see example below.

ipod -ebay.com

then anything pertaining to ebay.com will be dropped from the search

Answer 5

be more specific in your search

Answer 6

Janet by typing "-" before the word you DON'T want to search for, it excludes that word.

eg, in google, if you're looking for jewellery the asker could type

jewellery, silver, gold, -ebay
