• Custom blacklist of items
• Custom blacklist of sellers
• Items with reserve prices not met (resource-intensive).

Enhancers

PowerSearcher can display or remove the following additional information:

• Price, including shipping cost
• Item description as provided by seller (resource-intensive)
• Smaller items: slightly shortens margins and thumbnail max height to display more items per screen

• Remove seldom used left filter panels (configuration accessible in main configuration panel)
• Average price calculation based on displayed items
• Remove emojies from title
