some starting pointers for personal searches:
we save our own various custom designed searches in our desk top favorites [not ebays] and have very few problems ..
we start by using this particular search form:
http://sea rch.ebay.com/ws/search/Adv...&pfid=&satitle= note: do not ever, ever check the... Search title and description box
next in the keyword box insert your... specific required interest or interests such as follows:
(gas pump,gas pumps,)
or if you would like to broaden your looksee... then try this:
(lens,lenses,globe,globes,) +gas pump
plus maybe a similar but seperate search if desired that states the plural... gas pumps rather than singular
then in the... exclude these words box, insert the undesirables like:
fuel toy toys can cans sign signs map maps egg eggheads
you must do both these boxes exactly as shown above noting all brackets & punctuation etc, etc .. try it folks... you might even like it!
hope it helps... good hunting and enjoy
these are but a few ideas .. if you have any thoughts, questions or concerns... please feel free to post them here
