I watch youtubers who do ebay to help me find new items to sell. This one particular person on ebay has been very helpful. However when the youtuber does videos of completed and sold listings, I cannot find them in completed searches and they do not even show up in the seller's store.
So as someone who sources items from garage sales and flea markets, if I look something up it will not tell me this seller has sold the item recently. I do searches on my home computer and my ebay phone app. Both ways cannot find sold items.
As far as I can tell it is only from the one particular youtuber. Is there a way to block sold items from general searches and your ebay store? This just seems strange to me.

The seller may be using the "out of stock" option. In that case, if items are sold out, the listing does not end, but remains active as "out of stock", and the listing will not appear among current listings or sold or ended items. Once the item is restocked, the listing will appear active again.
