How do I find a listing which seems to have gone away?

[eburtonlab]

If the listing sold or ended more than ninety days ago, it was likely removed from the site. Removed items cannot be found by searching.

If the listing was newer than that but is no longer searchable, or does not appear in your watch list under either active or ended items, then either the listing was edited by the seller (possibly to sell a different item) or else it was removed from the site by eBay.

Run a search for the item that was listed.  Make sure that the search is as accurate and specific as possible.  When the search results come up, even if there are zero results at present, then scroll down and find the Show Only section on the left hand side of the page, where you can click to see only the "Sold listings" and the "Completed listings". 

I'd click the Sold listings first because there's likely fewer of them to have to look through.  If you don't find what you're looking for, then click to see the Completed listings.  In Completed, the items that did not sell will show the price in black, and the items that did sell will show the price in green.   Good luck hunting.
