Fred, Thank you for this information and also for the many other contributions you have made to this site.
I am one of the less computer literate members who was becoming increasingly frustrated by Packard parts searches on ebay. The vendors peddling radio antennas for 1902 Model G Packards and every model up to 1958 for example were becoming so prolific that it was becoming almost impossible to find the legitimate vendors among the "junk" vendor offerings. I complained to some of the vendors and to ebay to please cease and desist to no avail. Eric's exclusion list offered a quick and easy solution which I must admit I subscribed to. The easy way out for me was to accept his and others help rather than to spend the time atempting (and I did try) to create my own exclusion list. I honestly don't know what I should do. I don't want to go back to having to wade through countless antenna auctions nor do I want to miss out on offering from legitimate vendors but my attempts at creating my own exclusion list is also very time consuming and frustrating given my level of computer skills. Advice appreciated and in the meantime I'll try ebay without the filters. maybe the junk vendors have left since no one with a Model G likley bought a radio antenna.
