Filtering out China - Trade retaliation

I would like to see Ebay Sellers have to compulsorily have to list the Country of Origin of a Product. China has just blacklisted Barley imports & Beef from Australia due to the Australian government seeking an international investigation in Covid-19 origins in China. I want to retaliate against China, denying my trade to China in Ebay by  filtering out China Sellers and goods.

Well... I will admit that it becomes tedious when it's a case of clicking from the search results, if the search results go over several pages. Click onto the listing, click onto the feedback page, click the ๐Ÿ”™ button twice, click onto the next listing, etc., etc.

 

When the search results display quite a few listings that I can recognise are Chinese, I can copy-paste the seller names into an advanced search to exclude them from the search result. That results of course in a shorter list (for the meantime, until the sellers move to new usernames, for instance). There are usually still some Chinese sellers in the results, but any whittling down is welcome.

 

To be able to filter out sellers based on country of registration would be even more welcome, but of course it's not going to happen and there's no use any of us sobbing hysterically and drumming our feet on the floor about it, darn it! Tantrum (For that matter, being able to filter out dropshippers would be nice... but I can whistle until the marine cows come home for that to happen.)


I just right click and open a new tab. Then you don't need to worry about having  to hit the back button and waiting for the page to reload. When I'm done checking that seller, I just X it out.

And absolutely no mention of rubrication............

What? No mention of rubrication? Not even of lubrication?

 

tippy*toes, I already have a disconcertingly large number of browser windows and tabs already open... but point taken. I probably do right-click and close upon confirmation of my darkest suspicions... and that does eliminate the back button element... but it ruins a good story! I could have added more and more clicks and back-buttoning to draw it out even further...

At the moment, in this browser (Opera), I have 52 tabs open. In Chrome, I currently have 47 open. Always room for one more briefly.

Chrome: 17
Firefox: 2
Safari: (This one) 50

Realised on Friday that Safari had 114 tabs open, and made an effort to cull as many as possible. Had it down to 45 yesterday, lowest it's been this year.

Chrome did have over 100 open over the weekend. A lot being YouTube videos. Most from seeing the available suggestions on the right, so I right click and open in new tab. I don't close the first tab because there are other videos I want to see in the suggestions. Then on the newly opened tabs, there were a stack of different suggestions...........and it goes on and on.

 

EDIT: Yes, Padi, you are a failure. Now make with the prawns as punishment.

I try to keep it to 25 (well, no more than 30) tabs per window, otherwise I can't see where each tab leads (and easily move between them).

 

Number of windows open: 4.

 

Other programmes open: 8.

My late lamented cat puts you all to shame.....she opened over 300 tabs on Firefox when I left my laptop on the lounge.  She must have been tapdancing!

 

I only have 10 open at present as I did a restart after dinner.
