Several sellers have used Aramex/Fastway/whatever it's called nowadays, and each time I've never recieved the order. I don't know if it's a seller issue or a courier issue (though I suspect the latter because of each seller's high ratings (95%+ positive)). Is there a way to search by courier service that way I don't get scammed again?

No there is'nt
95% is garbage
How have you been scammed?
If you don't get what you paid for, you open a dispute and if the seller can't prove delivery to the address you provided, you get your money back

Wow, you enjoy buying from low % sellers one has 92%, you are asking for trouble.
Open an Item not received case.
But if it is several what does the tracking say? Does it show as delivered? Do they have your right address?
But please stop buying from sellers with feedback in the gutter. Self imposed punishment

Most cheap/drop-shipping sellers use Aramex because it allows them to keep prices low (often with free shipping, which of course is not really free, but it is cheap with Aramex).
"Standard parcel delivery" also often means Aramex, although it can also mean Australia Post. If in doubt, I always ask because I dislike Aramex too.

95% is not high seller ratings.
It's in the toilet.
Aim for 99.5+% for high volume sellers.

I've opened cases, but ebay hasn't done anything. They close the case on their end. So no item, and no refund either (the scam).

First of all, no need to insult me. Secondly, 92% is still greater than 9 out of 10. So it stands to reason they should be at minimum decent. Thirdly, I've opened cases. Ebay sides with them, not me. Some of the tracking says delivered (not, item was never dropped off, have cameras at front door looking into the yard, they never dropped it off), some says its still "Consignment is being proccessed" and some haven't moved from the step after that. Lastly, you didn't answer my question.

@haav25,
Unfortunately, however misleading it may be, 92% on eBay for a high volume seller is a poor feedback score. The way in which feedback percentage is calculated is not the same way as a maths exam score is calculated. As a general rule, I wouldn't purchase from a high-volume seller whose feedback percentage score was lower than 99.5%. (I would probably take a chance from a small occasional seller whose feedback percentage was lower than that, as even one negative (deserved or not) would bring down the seller's feedback disproportionately - but it would depend on the seller's responses to feedback, where they were located, and on what sort of item listed by them I had cast my eye.)

Well if you think that 1 bad transaction out of every 12 is a good thing, go ahead and buy from the seller, you obviously have a low expectation. I noticed someone suggested 99.5 is a better percentage, but using your logic that is still 5 out of every thousand transactions will be a negative experience. Why do you think 1 out of every 12 is acceptable
My humblest apologies for not answering your question, the answer is No
