Some sellers have numerous stores ..is there any way to search this

[decordiva1506]

I buy a lot of beads and jewelry components on ebay and some sellers have numerous shops.Is there any way to find out which shops are under the same ownership..Can I search to find that info??

on the other hand if I want to stop using a certain seller

for misrepresenting the product I would like to know if they have other shops I should avoid as well.

Thanks for any insight into this..

We all tend to have a certain way of expressing ourselves. So if you notice that the seller you dislike uses a specific phrase  or incorrect spelling or Term of Sale, you could set up your Searches as

"Bead+ jewel- gotta " Title plus Description -- if he uses "gotta" constantly.

You might also decide to limit your Searches to a certain distance from your home.

eBay does not provide the information neccessary to trace which stores are owned by the same person or company. The solution offered in the previous post is about all you can do. An exception to this is that after you have received items bought from several eBay stores and notice that the same return address appears on items from more than one seller,then the odds heavily favour the deduction that both seller IDs or stores are owned by the same person or company. This is,of course,no good in researching before you purchase.
