Seller’s solds are not available to look at for potential buyers any more?
Before I buy I generally look at a sellers old items in the previous 90 days to see what they have sold and whether or not they generally negotiate, quality, etc. not just rating. When you are looking at all or a portion of the items a seller has for sale until now you could pull up also the items they have actually sold within the last 90 days. This has just disappeared. March 19.
I can’t reach an agent anymore when I try.
Pet peeve I have also is actual sold prices for negotiated items are not posted and should be for all sales.

·2 years agoThe missing page is a glitch that eBay is trying to address.
As for sales negotiated through an offer, eBay does not publish that on the sold feed because it could affect other sellers' sales. However, you can find that data aggregated in a Terapeak search in Seller Hub.

OP2 years agoThank you for the reply. I look forward to ebay fixing the glitch to continue to show the Seller’s solds.
The answer about showing sales on non bid items is NOT satisfactory. EBay has the information since commission is charged by ebay , shipping and tax. Nothing is required except small software fix. On bid items should final price be hid?, NO. Is that next? I am a collector and the information would be invaluable. I have been a member since 1998. I have endured changes like keeping it from being a real auction, and hiding buyer’s and seller’s identities, difficult communication, not being able to communicate easily with EBay staff. Yes , there have been many improvements also. I have never sold but hear horror stories from Sellers.
Again, thanks for the reply.

·2 years agoeBay does show the actual sales price on bids and fixed price sales. At one time eBay did show the offer price, but sellers where upset because they negotiated a special price with the buyer and did not want to bring their remaining items down to that negotiated price.
That negotiated price could be as simple as acknowledging that the free shipping portion would be less because the buyer was so close (I've done that before), and this same discount could not be extended to someone at the opposite end of the country.
This is somewhat similar to eBay not disclosing MAP (minimum advertised price) discounts in search.
