Orders - How do you keep the year selected?

Question

Problem: At the bottom of my Ebay summary page is my "Orders" summary. For some unknown reason, once I select the year for the orders I wish to review, i.e., "2023," ebay fails to maintain this and consequently, defaults (reverts) back to all years. This undesired inconvenience results in reviewing the universe of your purchases made over multiple years.

Question: How do you ensure the year you wish to see, e.g., 2023, which you selected in the scroll-down area to be kept and maintained by ebay so that only those purchases made in that single year is fixed and viewable?

Thanks, in advance for your solution(s).

eBay has changed the Purchase History and Summary pages -- the default for orders is no longer the last sixty days, but the last three years.

Some older, previously hidden items are apparently no longer hidden due to the change, though it is still possible to hide those transactions again.

One possible quick workaround is to bookmark a page that shows recent transactions, hide the transactions you want to hide, and then use the bookmark in place of eBay's link unless or until eBay fixes the old link.
