WTB Feeler: W530 T530 FHD 1080p Models - Also, how to fine tune Ebay search for them?

Currently searching Title & Description using:
thinkpad (w530,T530) (FHD,1080p) (-1600,-1366,-768,-HD,HD+)
To add and remove non FHD models. Is that negation syntax correct?

If I remember correctly, you don't need the hyphen on each search term in the excluding parenthesis except for the first one, so it'd look something like this,
(-1600,1366,768,HD,HD+)
It may work either way, but logically it appears like it may return a double negation and will include the terms you didn't want.

Your syntax needs to remove the commas and parentheses.
I would put: thinkpad w530 -something -something etc.
Then make a seperate one for t530.
Recommend putting both as email updates if they this searches how you want.
For example if i wanted to make a search for pre letter thinkpads i might make the following
Ibm thinkpad -lenovo -t -x -r -z -a -iseries -core -t41 -t42 -t43 -t40 -t60 -t61
Always put more than less, as i put t and t4x/6x because those are very common and often slip by the filter.

The command and parentheses allow me to use the OR and AND operators - if my memory serves me right?
I wanted to ensure filtering IN, FHD machines and filter OUR using a NEGATE/ NOT '-' operator the non FHD machines.

Yes, you are correct on that part. My only reservation would be the detail I mentioned above, and that might not even through an issue.
