Is it possible to find my OLDEST starting ad so I can see what items didn't sell?

Hi, I have over 5000 items on my ebay store and I'd like to be able to see what items didn't sold for over a year (for exemple) so I can lower the price of those items so they have more chance to sell. 

Is it even possible to do this? Thanks!

If you use seller hub........on active listings there is a column you can add called "start date" which should show the original date and year the item was listed........you can click on the header and change from lst to last........  If you don't have that column, go to customize to add it.

Its my understanding nothing is saved more than 30 days. You cant even back track sold items.

If its not possible you can use logical deduction. If you have 100s of views and no sells its time to change it. Its likely very old.

Completed listings are available for 90 days.  However, it sounds to me like this question is about active listings.

Yes that was hands moving faster than brain good catch. I use the 90 days to backtrack daily. I had gtc on the brain from another post.

His question is about active. To which i suggested using the views column to find older unsold listings. Because is completed only goes back (90) days im fairly sure active listings dont go any further.

?? Some sellers have GTC active listings that have been active for years, and they are all visible. If I wanted to see a seller's oldest listings, I'd just sort by "newest first" and go to the end of the list.

So far what nobodys perfect said is the best solution. But doing this takes alot of times, I currently have 105 pages to go before I'm at the end of my store. There must have a easier solution.
Would be nice if ebay would just put an option: CANCEL AFTER A YEAR.
So we could see what didn't sell easier.
Because if an item didnt sell for a whole year, I feel it's really time to lower the price.

You should be able to set up your search results to show 200 results per page.  Ah for the olden days when you could enter a specific page number to skip to!

You can still do that......

 

For the OP the URL for "items for sale" is:

 

https://www.ebay.ca/sch/m.html?_ssn=bestpricevideogames&_pgn=6&_skc=1000&rt=nc

 

That link takes you to page 6, if you change the part in red from a 6 to another number and reload you will go to the requested page.

Looks like the maximum results per page in my visit store is 48. And the only way to put NEWEST FIRST is by being in the store. Can't put this option while looking at my own listing (where there is 200 results per page).

Click on the ADVANCED link located in the upper right of many screens.
Scroll down to the SELLERS section.
Click the box for Only Show Items From
Enter your seller ID
Scroll down to SORT BY
Select Newly Listed
Scroll down to VIEW RESULTS
Select Show Item Numbers
Click on the SEARCH button
This will provide a list of all active items sorted from most recent to oldest.
Go to the last page of the sort to see the oldest.
You can copy and paste the numbers in the page links and manipulate them to get to the last page sooner.
Instructions not included here.
Click on a listing to display it and see how units have sold and are remaining for sale.
Click on the SOLD link to see the dates of the sales.
That may only display 90 days of activity, maybe longer.
