How do you find old completed Ebay listings?

[kellyponyfeathers]

Can anyone tell me how to find completed Ebay listings that closed more than two months ago?  Thanks!

if you know exactly what you are looking for you can Google it and it will show the old ebay listings    There is another way as well I think... but I cant remember. I'll have another think about it. I know I've looked up some older listings recently but my brain is a bit fried ATM

I could be wrong, but I thought the older stuff you had to go through another webpage and pay for the service. There seems to be one called worthpoint ... However, I've never really looked up stuff that old so I'm unsure.

If you know the auction # you can do an advanced search or if you know any paypal info about it (I had to look up a March transaction that way last month). It'll give you the auction info in the paypal transaction so that you can do the advanced search with the auction #.

It sure isn't an easy thing to do, sorry. EBay really needs to make it a little easier for us to look up transactions beyond 2 months if they are ours.

On Ebay's lefthand side when doing a search for auctions, there's a "Show only" section and one of them is completed listings.

Sadly that only goes back 60 days.

Meh.

OK, I've got the item number:  181772683283

It ended in July.  I know that was a while back, but it's not THAT long.

It's my own item; I'd like to relist it.  I wrote out a fairly extensive description, and I don't really want to rewrite it all.  I can make a new listing; that's no big deal.  I'm just trying to avoid writing the description again.

I got the item number by finding the confirmation email from Ebay from my original listing back in July.  It still shows the image, price, clickable title, etc., so it looks like the info is still there somewhere in EBay's system.  But when I try to click the title in the email or "revise item," it just takes me to an Ebay page with similar search results.

Can you click "sell similar"?

[Ringlets]

Is it showing the description when you search and find the lisiting?  I don't think it will let you "relist" something that old directly but you may be able to copy/paste your description from the old one and then do a new lisitng using "sell similar"  without having to type it all up again

[kellyponyfeathers]

No, I haven't been able to access it.  When I try, it just goes to an Ebay page of similar search results.

Unfortunately after 90 days eBay deletes them. If you used Turbo Lister or similar and didn't manually delete them, they will still be in that program.
