As Alex says use the minus button to get rid of things you dont want. generally the people seeling the filters and plugs etc aim them at as wide a market as possible so they get listed in the Fits Austin Mini part of your search so if you search for Austin mini but deleted everything that is listed as also "fits Austin mini" then you just get genuine mini sale parts
so write your search term as
Austin mini -(Fits: Austin Mini)
just as typed - there is no space between one side of the dash and the  -(Fits: Austin Mini) just a space between the original Austin mini search term and the dash
cheers

if you unselect buy it now, you get only the actual auctions, this filters out most of that stuff, but you may miss out on something too...

Typically I search for say "Austin Cooper" just for the sake of browsing. I guess I'll have to wait until I need something specific..

How the heck do you filter all the spark plugs, fan belts, etc out of search on Ebay. A bit off topic but I figured one of the knowledgeable people(no trolls please) could assist.
