eBay - something new? Years worth of Item sold history (Price and Title)

[TvComics]

I was looking at some feedback yesterday and noticed that feedback going back several years now includes TITLE and Ending Price. As I recall, this information has always been hidden for auctions over 90 days old. For one seller I was able to go back as far as 2006 and still see Title and Ending Price associated with feedback comments.

 

In my opinion, this is quite informative and valuable. I am not sure if this is something new or a glitch that eBay will fix soon. For those of you with any research to do, I suggest doing it now as this info may be gone tomorrow.

 

Anyone know anything about this?

I haven't noticed this before, but yes, now some more details go back to 2007.

If I remember correctly ebay did a survey on displaying this type of information. Personally, I like it but it looks like it is only available on the seller side. So if you want to look up a price on your purchase you need to look up the seller ect.

Yah I noticed this. It's pretty important to put context around past sells. I mean if someone has been selling beanie babies for $3 a pop, and has a feedback of 100 all positive, but then puts up a $10,000 Action Comics issue, that might be a bit shady despite their feedback of 100 since their past experience is not in selling comics.

 

Glad that eBay decided to do this.

This is kinda fun to look at, you see what somebody bought three years ago and what they paid for it, then do a quick check on the GPA or current Ebay/Comiclink auctions and see what the books are going for now, I seen some people pay $800 for stuff back then that you can`t even get 500 for three years later and the opposite people paying $1,000 for a book thats worth $1,300 now. Pretty fun stuff to compare if you like looking at sales figures and have a few hours to spare.

I'm likng this new feature! Only small flaw I notice is that for BIN/Best Offer books, it gives you the original BIN price rather than the actual sold-for price. But it's nice to have this info back again. (thumbs u

Oh, it's only in feedback. Bummer. Useless info if it can't be searched.
