I had posted an ad back in 2014 for a car sale. I tried finding it on my dashboard, and through the eBay ID number, but no results hit. Are these older ads completely deleted, or are they archived somewhere I can acquire the ad info again. I am re-posting the sale of the car.
Much appreciated

EBay deletes Unsold listings after 90 days.
I keep the scans and descriptions from my listings in desktop files for reuse. Some have been there (and reused) for over 20 years. I also have my Terms of Sale and some HTML codes the same way.
Before you try to list, have you signed up for Managed Payments.
You need a checking account with a bank in your own country.
If you are not in the USA, move your account to your home site, before signing up for MP.
If you don't have an MP account, eBay will be unable to transfer your customer's payment to you even when the Hold on payments to new and returning sellers ends.

I think, if you go into your account and review your own FB, it will see all the items you sold going back at least 10 years. You might be able to see the title and the item number but I dont know if you can pull up the actual listing after 8 years.

You can't get anything other than the listing Title.
Somewhere in a dark corner of the eBay archives, probably on an ancient offline back up storage system there is a screen shot of your listing page. YOU will never have access to that.
Otherwise as previously mentioned, listings are only visible for 90 days after the listings end.
What info would be in that old listing that would still be valid today?

Greatly appreciate the good guidance on this.
