can I block sellers?

O.K. I'm a good guy, But I live in Ka. Don't tell me to move as I am quite happy here in very Norther Ka. And I'm too old to move. When I go to an item I wish to bid on, the seller says "No sales To Ka." This upsets me as I would like to purchase or at least bid on the item. Is there a way I can block these sellers. I do understand their situation, but again, my time is also valuable. My dear wife is gonna be 79 on the 10th and I married a younger woman, happily I might add, many fond years ago. Thanks, any suggestions would be helpful, Ed, life member VFW & NRA.

I looked on the support page and didn't see anything like that.
That’s the sellers prerogative where he wishes to not sell.
What's your wife's age got to do with blocking sellers ?

I would just make sure to save all the sellers you know WILL ship to California and check them out as often as possible to see if they have what you mightt be looking for. I will never understand why a seller would exclude buyers from a specific area....it only helps things to turn in the direction we all want it to by providing the items they have less access to than they should out there.
It might be possible to do an advanced search and exclude the word Kansas, or something else that would exclude some, or all of them. I'm not sure how far in the description the excluded words function will go though, if at all, or if it's only for the title.
No sales To Ka. for Kalifornia ? 😕
Pain in rear for Cali,got to register with Cali doj for special account just to ship there
Its not that hard....its a simple pre authorization ordeal that they require. You have to put a print out of the form in the box with the gun. You just go online and put the FFL's CFD number into the system and they give you a form to print out. It takes less than two minutes to do.
Jeeze guys the op was talking about California not Kansas, the abbreviation for Kansas is KS not Ka by the way... But I'll bet you knew that anyway...
I probably didn't buy a dozen or so rifles from certain sellers, because they won't sell to NJ. Makes no sense. Another famous website that sells ammo and guns, will not ship ammo to NJ. I just find another seller with the exact same gun and buy from them. It's their loss if they refuse to sell to certain states.
Not long ago there was an auction closing on CCI .22 mini mags, I would have beyond scored!!!! But guess what? He didn't sell to California 🤬 It's not that hard to send ammo to California.

Like the OP, I don't like to waste my time. At least in some categories there are a few high volume listers who start all their items at ten times the highest reasonable value, apparently trolling for suckers. That's entirely their right of course and they're welcome to keep it up. But I know I'll never bid on anything they post and I often just stop scrolling items and go somewhere else when I hit too much of it. I tried entering one of the offending user names in the "Words to Exclude" field of the Advanced Search but it didn't catch it. I'm sure GunBroker wants all their sellers being seen, but I get fed up and leave the site so none of the sellers get seen.
