SEARCH: Retro Vintage Fabric = cheap tacky pocket Watches!!!!

[fourandsixpants]

I have reported this before to ebay under their policies.....but this rubbish keeps showing up in my searches.

If I search for : Retro Vintage Fabric OR Retro Vintage Material OR Old Fabric/Material I do NOT want to see fraudulently listed C*RP from China .......this is NOT fabric, this is NOT genuine 'RETRO' fabric and NOT genuine 'VINTAGE' fabric.

Any suggestions to get this garbage excluded from my further searches would be MOST and sincerely appreciated as all efforts to report through Edismay has been a total waste of my time. I WANT to enjoy my search experiences leading up to purchases.......

*** Thank you ***

Do you only search in the Fabric category?

You can use Advanced search and choose to search Exact words, Excact order so if you entered "Retro Fabric"

That narrows it down to only 295 listings worldwide.

Once you've set your search filters, save the search and then you can check without seeing all the irrelevant stuff.

On the left hand side, further refine your search by choosing 'From  Australia only' (Not the default 'Ebay Australia')   It cuts out all the overseas listings, I use it all the time now.

....I prefer to buy from Australian sellers but also like 'overseas', so I do not wish to always 'cut-out' overseas sellers of Retro Vintage Fabrics........what I have had jack of is sellers fraudulently listing their items using keywords that are a blatant LIE.

Why should buyers have to cull their searches which impinges on selections/listings available to buy from ?

Why doesn't ebay actively address these fraudsters?......

Thanks to answer contributions from members but suggestions do not answer my orig. question.

Hi Paints - how do you propose that eBay actively address these fraudsters?

How would eBay know what product was being listed?

I think the only option open to us is to report the listings, but even then, by the time that eBay investigates the authenticity of an item the listing has often expired.

I wouldn't think that eBay can just end a listing and accuse someone of fraudulent activity because someone said it was so iykwim
