| One thing I do, is that under "Sort by" I choose "Price: highest first." That way I weed out all of the $0.99 auctions. Also I try to eliminate words that I'm not looking for by using the minus (-) sign. For example: "pearl necklace -akoya -tahitian -south -ss" (I just made up this example). If there are a lot of junky sellers using a particular term, this is a great way to eliminate them.
And I take the recommendations of posters to this forum. Also, one of the reasons that I took a chance on that last eBay seller from China was that he was selling pearls of different grades and different prices rather than just listing everything as AAA. I realize that this is not a reliable method at all, but I took a chance.
I think it would be great if people on this forum shared more of their favorite eBay sellers. I plan to post mine if I ever find any good ones.
