... one can no longer eliminate certain words or phrases while doing ebay searches.

For example, I used to exclude "11.5", "postcard", "post card", "timeshare", "time share", "vacation" while doing Puerto Rico chip searches to eliminate all the other stuff I had no interest in. I don't see any provision any more to exclude these items in my searches. As a result (unless I'm missing something) we now have to wade through literally hundreds of items where before it was less than a few dozen.
