Cannot find anyone to properly understand what I mean so here goes my question:

In steamgifts we get a long list of giveaways and we can easily click a little button with an eye and the giveaway disappears from the list. Then, no matter how many times you revisit the giveaway page you do not have to sift through all available to find the ones you would like since you have allready done that before. (clicked the button). I actually have a userscript which makes the button work even better.

Now on to the point:

Does anyone know of a userscript which would do the exact same thing for ebay. (whenever i search, I can make specific listings just hide and focus on what I need, not sift over and over through hundreds of results which do not pertain to what I am looking for.)

Long post, hope you can help, thanks.

I don't have enough technical know-how to answer this question with certainity but I'm doubting such a script would exist or help much. The reason it is working here that all giveaways from a certain game have the same ID so they can be identified as the same item. As E-Bay listings are diverse and listed from multiple people even the same item may have no common "keyword" you could use to identify it correctly. So the best you could probably do with a script is filtering out search hits with a certain word in titel or description or just sort out a single listing.

But since I don't really know take this post as a bump.

well yeah, i figured items could be disposed of based on listing nr, which is unique for each item. would at least mean the specific listing won['t show up anymore in that specific search. look, i searched for "monitor, 16:9", right. Well i got results about books. Clearly badly written descriptions there, so i just want to remove those results to just see my 16:9 monitors...

Not exactly the same as what you're asking, but you'll definitely want to refine your results to only the monitors category. Once you are in a category, you can also filter by category-specific values such as screen size, resolution, aspect ratio, manufacturer, etc.

For example, I've selected monitors with 16:9 aspect ratio at this link

true yet I have 1 issue: 16:9 monitors 4k listings, monitors uncategorized: 20k results. I figure it may be easier to find a nice bargain among those listings where the people didnt properly categorize the monitor. since, akin to your solution, many will not check there. I tell you, 3 years ago i got got a quad core q9950 with 4gig ram, OS license (vista+xp), and monitor for exactly 1 euro from a seller in Hamburg. Germany. Mad deal. Which is why I want to search even those corners and filter out the nasty to get to the gold :P.
