Steve,

I do agree with requiring a decent description along with the item number, but finding it can be done without the advanced search.

http://ebay.com/<blah>

Make a shortcut to the above url and put it on your desktop or add it to your start menu. Click on it and you will be advised that the listing has been removed...Left click twice just beyond the "=", right click there once and paste in the item number, hit enter and you are there. 5 clicks, no fuss and no waiting <g>
