How to Search by Specific Item Number

Searching by a specific item number allows you to quickly locate products without relying on keyword matches. Whether you’re tracking an upcoming listing or checking the status of a known item, this guide explains the two ways to find items using their unique ID numbers.

Option 1: Standard Search Using Item Numbers #

The simplest method is to use the search bar as you normally would, but enter item numbers instead of keywords.

Steps: #

1. Go to Home > Keywords.
2. Enter the item number in the Keywords (e.g., 1234567890 or Xbox).
3. If you want to search for multiple items, separate each item number with a comma (e.g., Xbox One, Xbox, Xbox 360).

Note: #

• The search input field supports up to 350 characters.
• This means you can include multiple item numbers, provided the total character count (including commas) does not exceed 350 characters.

Option 2: Create a Filter to Highlight Specific Item Numbers #

If the item you’re searching for is expected to appear in a broader search (such as one based on category or keyword), you can use a custom filter to automatically highlight it when it shows up in your results.

Steps to Create a Filter: #

1. Navigate to the Filters section, Home > Filters.
2. Click on Add Filter.
3. Select Format Row or a similar visual rule type.
4. Choose a highlight color (e.g., purple).
5. Set the condition as:
   Item ID equals [specific item number].

This filter will automatically apply the formatting whenever the specified item appears in any matching search results.
