if looking for an item on Google the search always throws up a load of eBay results. How do I block eBay sites showing up?

In your search type -ebay (minus sign). Works for sites and search terms.

Make sure there are no spaces between as "- ebay" wouldn't work!

Oh! It should.

In the google search bar:

"exact item I'm looking for between quotes" -ebay* (maybe add an astericks as a wildcard)

I'm not going to embed the image as it's too large, but check the following infographic (the first example of using the minus sign before SATs to omit that):
