E-bay Search tips

They probably have this spelled out somewhere, but I just figured it out by trial and error, so I thought I would share my deeeeep thoooooooughts on search tips:

If you put things in parentheses separated by commas, that means "any of these things" (I usually put the laundry list of brands I am interested in this way).

If you put a little "-" sign in front of a word, it means "not this word" (a brand of cosmetics I search for somehow inexplicably also results in a lot of "hits" for adult diapers -- so I have to put in -incontinence in that particular search).

Words not in parentheses means "all these words".

Also, if you find something you like, look at its category at the top of the item's page, then click on the category and repeat your search, and it will cull out all the random things you don't intend to look for.

And don't forget -- use (new, nwt, bnwt, bnib) if you want only new stuff.
