Ebay search string - sorry I know it has been discussed

[BillWilliams]

before, but my search efforts did not turn up anything.

I had a pretty nice search string for 2002 stuff, but it disappeared from "My Ebay" search.

If you have a string that eliminates the 2002 cars and bikes, can you post please? thanks

This one eliminates most of the unrelated bits. I am always finding more to add though.

bmw 2002 -(x-series, 7-series, 3-series,M-series, 5-series, z-series, k-series, r-series, Z8, X5, Z3, Mini, "car cover", bra, diamond, 540i, 745i, 760i, z4, r1150, e65, e38, e46, m5, m3, 745, 760, 325i, 328, 330, 325xi, navtech, e39, r1100, navigation, 525, 525i)

You can also parenthise keywords you DO want by omitting the "minus" sign as used in the previous post.

bmw (2002, tii, 2000, touring) will give you anything with "bmw" and any of the other four words.

You can use "*" as a wildcard.

325i* will give you 325, 325i, 325is, 325ix, etc.

Double quotes will give you an exact phrase with no extra words between the enclosed keywords.

And if you want parts but not cars or bikes, search only in "ebay motors"->"parts and accessories" and maybe then in "car and truck parts" or "vintage car and truck parts".

Hope this helps,

Steve

EBay Search String

looking at it, you'll see you can add or remove any item(s) by using a key word to add or (-) to omit from the search

"bmw 2002" works really well
