Option to Print Listing of Purchased Item has Disappeared

The link to print a formatted listing of a purchased item has disappeared.  Is this a bug or a feature?

Re: Option to Print Listing of Purchased Item has Disappeared

Thanks for the pointer, pocomocomputing.  I will reprint here:

 

(1) Click on the Leave Feedback link, then hover over the 'Order details" link next to the item title, and the popup window has a "View purchased item" link which brings up the old Print window.

 

(2) For a Purchase, if you have already left feedback, go into your purchase history and then under View Order Details, you will see More Actions with a dropdown menu. Click on View Paypal Transaction and eBay will assume you had a problem with the item and bring up the item in a small window to the right and will give you the option to View Purchased Item, which brings up the old print screen.

 

 

(3) For an item you have Sold, go to the listing page and click on "View purchased item" in the list of links at the top-left of the page. However, there seem to be no workarounds for your Unsold items or items in which you were not a party to the transaction.

Re: Option to Print Listing of Purchased Item has Disappeared

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I've been looking for.

 

I used the print function not for printing but for saving a concise yet comprehensive record of the items purchased or sold—and only for the items purchased or sold, not any of the "Sponsored Links" or "what other people are watching" or what not.

 

Beats me why eBay's UI designers think that for plain record-keeping purposes I'd click the "Leave Feedback" button even before I've received a tracking number of my purchase...

Absolutely absurd that the print function was taken away. This is my vote to bing it back ASAP!

Thank you all follow eBayers for great recommendations. However, "View purchased item" works for purchased items only before feedback is left. After the feedback is left, I can not find this options anyweher for purchased items. IT IS REALLY ABSURD!!! Smiley Frustrated

This method apparently still works.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=nnn

 

where nnn is the listing item number.

Re: Option to Print Listing of Purchased Item has Disappeared

This bookmarklet still works starting from an order details page with an address of the form:

 vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderDetails?itemid=272nnnnnnn5&transid=18nnnnnnnnnn7

(there can and usually will be other junk in the URL too)

 

javaXscript:if(location.href.substring(0,42)=='https://vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderDetails')
{window.location.href='https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&view=all'+
window.location.href.match(/\&itemid=[0-9]*[^\&]/i)[0].replace("id","")+
window.location.href.match(/\&transid=[0-9]*[^\&]/i)[0].replace("rans","");}

As always, remove the X from javascript above before pasting in the bookmark (addition of the X here X gets around a Lithium posting bug)

Yeah, ebay updated again (Oct 2017). Accessing the "View purchased item" through the feedback link and printing the item description page is no longer an option.

Use the following (currently working) link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=xxxxxxxxxxxx

and replace the x's with the ebay item number. It will bring up the "You bought this item" page. Scroll down slightly to the "Description" and "Shipping" tabs; to the right of those will be the old "Print" and "Report item" links. Clicking "Print" brings up the old options of printing Listing summary, Seller's description, and/or Listing images.
