Ebay spamming searches with cards of other players.

[thenightman]

eBay really should fix it to where the only names you can put in are names you put in the title.

Seeing heaps of these currently in my Garnett search - no rhyme or reason.

Cause the seller listed Kevin Garnett as the player for some odd reason.

[Spacemanspif]

Every single one of his listings is like that because his oldest listing was a KG card and used “sell similar” for every listing after but never changed the player detail

It's not an accident it's on purpose just like when people list a base card of a hot player "non auto".

Annoying to say the least

[Spacemanspif]

But as I mentioned earlier, if you change the sort from “best match” to “lowest price” it will only show the ones with Garnett in the title. You can also do Advanced Search with “title only” or use quotes around “Garnett” to avoid this kind of stuff

Thanks for this, I always use new listing as I want to see the latest listings to see if there's anything I like.

again, use " " around garnett : "garnett" in your search and this will never happen.

Putting the player’s name in quotation marks should only show listings with that player in the listing title.

This comes up for a search with no quotes around the name: kevin garnett

2023-24 Panini Court Kings RC Leonard Miller Rookies II & Debut Relic Wolves
https://ebay.com/itm/226033240984

Under "Item Specifics":

Player/Athlete
Leonard Miller, Anthony Edwards, Karl Anthony Towns, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kevin Garnett

Using this search with quotes around the name: "kevin garnett" 2024 Panini Court Kings Debut Relic Wolves

^ that listing is still returned, even though kevin garnett is not in the listing title.

It's too time consuming to report all the listings.

Just tried that, didn't work for this one:

"kevin garnett" 2024 Panini Court Kings Debut Relic Wolves

Try & see what you get.

nothing, because there's no such thing as 2024 Panini Court Kings. what you're seeing is the closest thing via best match

[Spacemanspif]

kevin garnett 2023 Panini Court Kings : 17 results (best match). looks like it includes anything with Kevin Garnett Court Kings including other years and other cards with Kevin Garnett in the description

"kevin garnett" 2023 Panini Court Kings : 6 results (best match). narrowed to just 2023 but still includes other years and other cards with Kevin Garnett in the description (2 are spam)

"kevin garnett" 2023 Panini Court Kings : 2 results (newly listed). just 2 correctly listed autos. looking at sold items, it looks like this was the only KG card in the set

[Cactuspies]

my alonzo mourning auto/autograph searches have recently started to bring in AC Green, and lots of them

sorting out of best match either adds junk or sorts out what you are looking for or just drastically cuts correct searches down.

I can't imagine how many listings I don't see, I can't imagine how many of my own listings go unseen.

I know even when I search directly by seller, ebay limits items seen. Like if I'm looking directly at DCS's items ending soonest, whenever I refresh because of his listings all ending within a second of each other, there are some on my watch list which I never see in his inventory with a general search of all items. they only show up on my watch list.

Garnett Kevin

Search his name backwards. I search Jeter Derek for certain PC cards to avoid the spam.
