    Default eBay taken over by Zeepk

    I just took a look at the first 150 or so straight razors from eBay sorted on shortest time to expiration. It was a real struggle to find a non Zeepk item. Has the world changed so suddently?

    Just stick in -zeepk in the search box. I have a lot of "-"'s in my normal searches. Somewhere there are threads with lists of exceptions that various members use. I actually need to update mine...

    Thanks for the hint concerning searching under "-Zeepk". Works like a charm.

    I hope this carries over in a workable manner - here's the link from my filters on the ebay vintage straight razor area. If it works then after the page is up, just bookmark it and call it smething like Ebay VintageSR Filtered. If the link doesn't work let me know and I'll paste the filters into a message. I filter Zeepk as well as a ton of others - and use alternate spelling for most of them since the sellers seem to be as bad as spammers with their tricks.

    -derby -zeepk -kriegar -Tomahawk -kreigar -kreiger -krieger -shavette -szco -maxam -todd - master usa, great deals on on eBay!

    That's funny, I've been wishing I could plug in "-zeepk" to ebay's search for weeks now, I just assumed it wasn't supported. Thanks for the tip!

    You can put in "-zeepk" anywhere is the ebay search bar. They are a company that makes very poor quality "straight razors" that will not take a shaving edge. There are a number of such companies; I believe there is a list in the wiki somewhere. I steer clear of any new production straight razors on ebay; if I want something new I'll go to a vendor.

    The search function in this forum isn't the best, but: ebay search string site:straightrazorplace.com/forums - Google Search yields http://straightrazorpalace.com/aucti...-keywords.html.

    *clicketyclick*

    Okay, I've added some stuff on buying on eBay to the FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions - Straight Razor Place Wiki.

    THIS IS A WIKI! IF YOU FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE IN THERE, ADD IT! AT LEAST NOTIFY THE WIKI CREW OF IT!

    Thank you for your attention.

    Kind regards,

    I'll have to try the "-" with some new searches. I just ended up doing searches for the makers of the razors I was interested in like "straight razor c-mon" etc. I know I miss some good ones here and there but after my first e-bay search of "straight razor" wich at the time brougt up almost 2000 well.... I do that for the sellers too like shamrockshaving, cedarfurnitureman yada, yada.
