Inability to view order details & leave feedback temporary fix

At some point in the last two days Ebay updated code which seems to have broken the ability to view order details from an items page after its sold to the winning bidder.  Anything with a buy it now still shows as originally designed.  However there is a way to get the information your used to with a little creative code.  When you view an item that's sold the URL reads like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/{ItemID} (a 12 digit item identifier.)  Ebay is designed to generate a TransID (a 13 digit transaction number) once an item sells and peice it together in the body to produce the links we're accustomed to. The order details page is usually

 

https://vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderDetails?sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AVPS&itemid={ItemID}&transid={transID}

 

The issue is Ebay is not assigning transaction ID numbers on auctions currently so it's not showing the links but the solution is to copy the endpoint, set the transID to 0 while setting it as the first string, then add your item ID to the end.

 

https://vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderDetails?transid=0&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AVPS&itemid={ Your ItemID}

 

If your clever with html you can easily make a tool to take you to the details page by inputting the itemID into a form. Once ebay fixes this issue the solution most likely won't work any longer  but it will get you where you want to be for the time being. Open notepad, copy the following text into it

 

 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body><h1>EBAY DETAILS</h1> <form action="https://vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderDetails" method="get"> <input type="hidden" value="0" name="transid"> <input type="hidden" value="STRK:AMESO:AVPS" name="sspagename"> Ebay Item#: <input type="text" name="itemid"> <input type="submit"> </form>
</body>
</html>

 

Save file type as all files with HTML extension instead of txt. Feedback can be left following this link https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/leave_feedback

Are you sure the change (loss) of Item Details was not done on purpose to force us to use the Seller Hub for things like Leaving Feedback which I must say is quite a pain the butt to use, requiring scrolling and scrolling and squinting to find the item you want to leave feedback for and wow, more clicks to open the item, another click to say Positive and more scrolling to get to the entry box, and on and on and on. When will they leave what works, alone............

Ive seen the same issue also you cant leave feedback on the feedback received page. You open the item and the bit where you can view  postage details and leave feedback has gone. Why?
