Feedback no longer showing item number?
I used that to look at buyers feedback when it says 'repeat buyer' so I can see what they bought and when? Now, nothing shown??

·2 years agoAre you saying that you could look at a buyer's feedback and see item numbers of what they bought from all sellers or just from you? I haven't been able to see an item number in buyer's feedback for a long time.

OP2 years ago@pjcdn2005 Just from me- when a buyer bought from me, because I have 'automatic feedback' I left for Every Buyer, then I could just 'scroll' through their feedback, find my name and get an idea 'when' they bought from me, and if less than 90 days, just 'click' on the transaction/item number and it would take me to it to see what they bought. If over 90 days, I could still see the trans/item number but had to copy/paste it on another 'screen of ebay' to see the item.
Was VERY helpful.

·2 years agoMight I suggest @stainlessenginecovers going to your Orders page in Seller Hub, expanding the top search filter, searching by userid and changing the date range to "custom" - entering past 2 years?
Or, if you get eBay sale notification emails, do a quick search of your emails for userid?
I always found those 2 methods quicker than searching through the buyer's feedback. Perhaps it will help you deal with this change. 🤷

OP2 years ago@wastingtime101 thanks- that does work- a bit 'more' work vs just clicking their feedback, but it does work. Thanks (still don't know why they keep 'fixing' things that don't need fixing).

·2 years agoMe too. When you go to feedback it just says "Verified Purchase" I don't know why they left out the item numbers now? Under "Orders" I use to see "Repeat buyer" as you mentioned. I don't know if they got rid of "Repeat buyer".
You will have to go to "Orders" and search from last year and this year, etc. if you want to know what they bought in the past now. Another nice advancement by eBay I guess. lol

OP2 years ago@cardsforauction that is exactly what I see- nothing except Verified Purchase. Just started yesterday (Weds 4/24).
@steve_stuff @devon@ebay
Steve, Devon- can you get with the team and please tell them to Change This Back?? This Cannot be a 'new thing' as it is very detrimental to some sellers (I look at past purchases, many times find they bought a part for 2009-2013 last month and are now buying for same car but 2005-2007, I message them and many times the response is "oh, I made a mistake" and then I can respond with "no problem, I will build/ship you the correct part". NOW, I will be seeing MANY MORE unnecessary returns.

·2 years agoRepeat buyer is still there in your "manage all orders" hub. I had one this morning.
stainlessenginecovers
OP2 years ago@gloryglorygifts yes; but that is a VERY tedious, time consuming process as I have buyers that bought 2 weeks ago or 2 months ago or 10 months ago or 2 years ago. To go through 'all' those orders would take forever at 1800 a year!

·2 years agoI use the search bar on my orders to look up prior orders. You can do a search by profile name. Sometimes it helps. I'm like you. I want to know when and what they ordered. My pet peeve is when someone places two orders on the same day, because they don't know how to add them to their cart and then check out, and it shows as repeat customer. There are flaws to the system in reporting the repeat buyers but it does help me at least to search.
stainlessenginecovers
OP2 years agoActually, it shows 'Repeat Customer' even if they put all items in 1 cart and pay at once- as I've seen that with buyers with a (1) or (3) by their name and can easily see their feedback, all from me and nothing prior to 'todays' sale.

·2 years agoHmmmm.
If I just click on someone's (anyone's) feedback it shows me item numbers.
But from my seller hub "all orders", If i look for a repeat buyer (or any buyer for that matter) and click on their feedback, it does not show me item numbers.
stainlessenginecovers
OP2 years ago@inhawaii - so if you click on one of your buyers (try most recent) feedback, you will see item numbers that you can click on right below the feedback, for every feedback?? (that's what I used to see, now just 'verified purchase')
brightlightbookseller
·2 years agoI still see the item number (as an active link no less) when I look at your feedback page. Did you click "See All Feedback" or were you just looking at the initial feedback page with whatever "relevant" feedback it shows at first?
stainlessenginecovers
OP2 years ago@brightlightbookseller I'm talking about looking at Other Peoples feedback (like my buyers...when they buy, it says 'repeat customer' and I always looked at their feedback received to find what I sold them in the past).
inhawaii
·2 years agoMine doesn't show that.
I don't think it ever did.
