Good question! I just looked at mine and have 3 pages and seeing the same lack of delete button. LOL! If I wanted to save the messages, I would save them. I want to get rid of them, that is why they are in the trash.

eBay automatically purges messages older than 6 months. The trash folder is really just a place to hide the messages you no longer want to see. The fact that there are nine pages of trash is of no consequence because you aren't digging through the trash. If you do find yourself digging, perhaps those items that are not absolutely trash can be put into a "Maybe" folder until eBay purges them at six months. Or create a new folder called "Dead Trash" and you can sort your absolute trash to that folder, which will also purge at six months.

 

Looking at any of your folders, you will notice nothing is older than Sep 6, 2022, as everything older than 6 months has been purged.
