As of today I can't look at sold items and their descriptions from my Watch List!

[snowwhitedove55]

I like to look at completed listings from my Watch List to see if they've sold, for what price, and to re-read the listing, but suddenly on Wednesday morning, October 26th, 2022, that function is gone! It just says, "Sorry You missed out on this item" with no title or anything to show except for "Sellers other items" and "Sell one like this" ! 

Why? And how do I get this function back?

Hello eBay..uh everyone isnt asking about an issue of using the freaking app or desktop

You are not addressing eBay here; this is a user forum. While folks who work for eBay may read and sometimes respond to a post, most of the posts here are from other buyers and sellers. You can identify the official posts from eBay folks by the presence of "@ebay" in the username.

Some people are using a browser; some people are using the eBay app. There may be a problem with one or the other, or there may be a common problem with both that may have different workarounds for each. eBay may have changed something about how ended listings behave so that the steps you are used to following no longer work the way you expect.

Don't assume that everyone is experiencing the same problem or seeing exactly what you are seeing; that might not be the case.

They're asking why eBay ended item search details is no longer visable and you've turned this topic into you're own.

It is still possible to view ended item details in different situations from various pages.

There is more than one issue that was raised in this thread: problems involving not being able to see ended item details in the eBay app; problems with browser links being redirected to the eBay app; lack of a filter to select sold or ended items on a seller's storefront page.

Anyone can respond to a post to answer a question or make a suggestion or an observation.

Where has the details page disappeared to when someone clicks in an ended auction and only gets the SORRY YOU MISSED OUT page.

When I follow a link to an ended item, I see item details -- provided that the item ended recently and has not been deleted, aside from some issues with the eBay app that may require refreshing the page or tapping on the item image once or twice and scrolling down to use the "see original listing" link.

If you do not see that link, try refreshing the screen by swiping down. Make sure you have the latest version of the eBay app; the original post is from October, and eBay may have made changes to the app since then to address the problem.

If you are unable to view item details of ended items, you may want to provide some explanation of the exact steps you are taking -- which browser or app version you are using, what device (mobile or desktop) or operating system you are using, whether the item you are trying to view was one you have bid or received an offer for, and what page or screen you were starting from to view the item.

If you are experiencing a particular problem, and I can reproduce the problem, I might be able to make a specific suggestion to help. Or someone else might.

But if you do not explain where you are starting from and what steps you are taking, and I am unable to reproduce the problem, then I can only provide general suggestions of different things you can try.

Well check this out, I go to Advanced and click on SOLD and the COMPLETED Box checks too, so what do I get,  SOLD and COMPLETED items all Cobbled together, I mean seriously what is going on with eBay?

Clicking on the "sold" option should show you "sold" items only, regardless if the "completed" item box is checked or not. At least that is how it works when I search.

You can verify this is the case by looking at the results and noting that the "Sold [date]" notation appears above each result. Then try using just the "completed" option by itself, note the greater number of results shown, and the fact that many of the results display "Ended [date]" rather than the "Sold [date]" notation.

Sold items are completed, non? When you click Sold it also checks Completed, but all it's showing you are sold items. You can tell because all the prices shown are green. If you just click Completed you also see black prices when an item didn't sell.

Same thing happened to me right after I reported a seller to EBay for suspected shill bidding! I’ve reported other sellers too. I’m guessing eBay  are fed up with me.  Immediately after my report to them I couldn’t get access to auction results anymore from “ended listings” in my watch list. I complained to them once more and they acted dumb saying we need more information! I gave them reference numbers etc but they didn’t answer my questions and kept putting me through to different departments. I hung up in frustration telling them they were corrupt and then, miraculously,  I can now access the ended listings again! EBay controls our accounts !!!!!!

The same problem is happening to everyone using the app or a mobile browser in mobile mode. eBay is not singling you out for reporting another user. It is a bug, not punishment.

What version of Firefox are you using? Latest version?

Any difference if you use another browser aside from Safari?

What page are you starting from, and how are you trying to view completed items? Is the problem viewing individual completed items, or searches of completed items, or completed items on your Watch List? What do you actually see when you try to view completed items?

What if you use a mobile browser or the app?
