If you had a copy of each sale notification going to your email, and you archived all those emails, is about the only way I can think of to go back that far.  (I do this, have my sales emails all the way back to 2014 when I resumed selling after a decade break.  Just created an email folder, and an automated rule to skip inbox and move to folder.  Handy little 'backup' for stuff like this.)

 

Transaction Report will get you (currently) from January 1st, 2020 to present.

10 years ago, seller's payments were being processed by PayPal. So you should be able to look through your PayPal records and statements to find the info. With that said, I'm not sure how long PayPal stores the info these days.

Don't know exactly what info you are trying to find but try looking at the feedback you received from that long ago. If you are looking for an item sold, price and buyer ID - where the buyer left feedback for you - that info will be there. However, you cannot click on to view the details like buyer name, address or see the original listing.

 

My feedback goes back a couple of decades and is 3,300+ pages. Scroll to the bottom of your feedback received file and enter the highest page number of yours. You can work forward from there.

 

Kind of interesting to take a mini trip down memory lane that way  🙂

   You should print out a "View Order Details" page for every sale you make. All the information you will need on the sale will be there, even including the buyer's phone number. The only information that won't be there is the item description information and multiple photos (if you had more than one). I've had occasion over the years to have to go back to the Order Details page for customer service or to answer questions about an item I once had.

    Keep the printouts as long as you feel is necessary. I throw the away after 5 years.

Cheers, Duffy

PayPal data goes back 7 years. I expect the eBay information from Managed Payments will be the same time period so anyone who was early into MP should be thinking about downloading all their info in the next couple of years.

 

You could also try getting your Personal Data from eBay, not sure how far back it goes or what level of detail you get.

You would had to have kept your own records for that. Printed records I destroy after 7 years. Digitally I can go back to 1998.

Maybe The Wayback Machine will help

If you are looking for a few specific listing and generally know the titles try Worthpoint. They go back about 20 years or so. Not everything sold is recorded, but a lot of ebay listings will pop-up. Info is not perfect - Sold price shown may not be actual sold price.
