eBay doesn't allow you to go back that far. You'd have to check on another site like worthpoint
Worthpoint is where I go to retrieve old listings of mine, in case I'm looking for an old listing that I didn't archive myself. First I get the original title of my old listing from my email account that's tied to my eBay selling account, where I have my own copies of the various emailed notifications they send you when you're listing something. I then copy-and-paste my old listing title into the Worthpoint search window, and scroll through the results until I see my listing photo. I then open that and grab my listing text (and my photos, if I need to reuse those), downloading them to my machine.
It's not a perfect strategy; Worthpoint does not always archive my items if they are too similar to others, but usually I find what I'm looking for. Assuming that you don't need to know the listing price, which is the one bit of data that Worthpoint will not reveal without a membership, then the rest of it is accessible. (I think my downloading the material from their site is a fair trade, as I did not give them permission to archive and sell my sales data in the first place. 😉)
