Item # No Longer in its Own Column in Filters

[sherylh805]

Hello - I depend daily on the listing number in its own column. I sort by this number when identifying/ending old listings. A few days ago, this number is no longer available in its own column, even though the "Customize Table" selections show it as one of the filter options. Please help! Is this a glitch, or can we no longer expect to see the item number in its own column? TIA

I just checked and the item number column is showing when selected.

I've only got 3 columns checked.

Available to me this morning and being used - but often eBay rolls out changes and maybe it just hasn't gotten here yet.

There are Seller Hub changes only some accounts are seeing.

One of my accounts has the "old" view and one of my accounts has the "new" view where item number and photo and title are all grouped in the same column, same as you @sherylh805 . I'm actually fine with the item number being in that column but I hate the photo being so freaking TINY. My listings all look the same now because the pic is too small.

That said, if you typically sort by item number to identify old listings, I suggest instead adding and sorting by the "start date" - I see that field is not checked on your customize screen. Add "start date" to your view then it'll be super easy for you to identify old listings. Hope that helps.

Thanks- I’ll give that a shot. But since eBay continually relist my items, I was under the impression that would renew the start date on each. I’m guessing start date is the actual start date.

Nah, on fixed price (buy it now) listings, there's only the original start date. That won't change.

If you add the "end date" column, that will show you when the listing is scheduled to renew. So maybe adding "end date" to your view will be helpful, too @sherylh805 .

I have not seen complete synchronization between item number and start date.

This month I listed ten theatre magazines during the same half-hour.  Six of them have item numbers that start with 157... and four start with 167...

And here are a few of my older items (sorted by start date, oldest-to-newest)  Item number seems random-ish:

Interesting!

Thank you @wastingtime101 - the Start Date works for what I need. You're the BESTEST!
