So I need some replacement buttons for a St. John jacket. I typed in the search field St. John buttons, and then I sorted by lowest price first. Of course St. John's Bay came up first, which I had forgotten would happen, so then I went to the Brand list to checkmark St. John. My initial checkmark choices are:
St. John's Bay
Grays
NAVY
Santana
Essentials
M & M
Red Jacket
100%
So I click on See All, and St. John is not even on the list. Oy vey.

Add -bay to the search, it will take out any listings that have Bay in the title. I would also search button instead of buttonS.

Can't help you with your search issue but I do have 2 different sets of SJ buttons I salvaged from garments that were to far gone to mend. They're not listed now- one set is gold metallic with black SJ crown centers and the others are black with SJ in the center. Message me if you're interested.

I don't think St John has ever been on their list.
CJ Banks is not on their list either, though it used to be. There are several larger brands that are not on there.

By not on their list, do you mean it doesn't come up in the drop down when you are choosing the brand name when listing? I am never sure whether I am just getting suggestions from my PC when I start typing the brand name or whether it is coming up as a choice from ebay. I guess I shouldn't type anything and just use the down arrow, but it is just quicker to start typing. But many of the "brand names" showing up are not brand names. I don't get what's up with that. |

Yes, that's what I mean. The brand list in the drop down corresponds to the brand list when you do a search. IDK what you mean by "many of the brand names showing up are not brand names". Just using the down arrow isn't really feasible, it would take forever. Even typing takes forever once they changed the search protocol & instead of coming up with options that START with your search string, they bring up everything that has your search string IN it. STUPID change! They have no idea what they're doing! But Emerald is right that if you put your search in quotes, it should find just what you're searching for. |

Thanks for all your input on the buttons. I didn't see anything similar to the buttons on the jacket, and actually I am not certain the jacket is worth the investment of buttons. It's not santana knit, it's more of a sweatshirt type material with a [faux?] leather trim. It says it's washable but it looks a little faded and frumpy to me since it's been washed, so I doubt that it would appeal to most St. John buyers. The pants are also slightly faded but have an SJ embroidered in gold on them so don't appear quite as frumpish. I will probably list the pants and the buttons and call it a day.
