Seller's Completed Listings

kacoo3402 — Sat, 03 Oct 2020 11:45:00 GMT

Hi all.

How do I look at another seller's completed listings? I know how to look at already sold items but cant quite figure this out. Any help appreciated. Thank you

Select their selling items then completed or sold listings in the left margin.

Go to their feedback page and on the right you can select to see all their listings. You want to view listings, not view their store (if they have one). Once they load, scroll down a bit and on the left is the option to view completed or sold listings (amongst other options). Generally it will only give the last 2 months, but sometimes it will show 3 months. Depends on which way the wind is blowing on the day.

If that doesn't work, click on one of their listings and under their username on the right is the option to view their listings. Again, don't select to view their store.

Edit: Hi Kopes, I'm slow typing tonight.

That's incredible it worked! I feel kinda nosey looking through but its very interesting. I recently had a buyer make an unsolicited offer on some plates I had raised the price by $4 and she wanted them for the original price because she had seen my completed listings.

Your listings look great, on both accounts. You've got some really nice stuff. Can I make a small suggestion? Your Noritake items on this account, put the pattern type in the title as often people are looking for a particular pattern, e.g Glenwood or Wild Ivy. It should be on the underside of each item.

If they are after a particular pattern, they might search for "Noritake Glenwood", which could filter your items out. Especially if they put it in quotes.

A tip set them to privite listings then there no way for them to see any details on the listing eg the price you have sold them for

A lot of buyers are reluctant to buy from sellers with private listings, unless there is a legitimate reason, which that isn't.

do not know where you get that fact from lmao you will find it the other way around Buyers prefer to be hiden rather than be shown. a quick search of sellers moving product vs sellers NOT moving product shows MOST have buyers purhases hidden EBAY are even slowly moving to a hidden listing model a quick look in feed back on random users will show alot a things are now been hiden

just to highlight from your own feed back there 18 of 25 hidden products only 1 was a private listing the rest are EBAY hidden and that was JUST of your 1st feed back page

Sold items are visible for 90 days.

Purchases aren't ever visible from a buyer's page. Except to the buyer.

And none of my listings are 'private', which is what you are advocating and an entirely different thing.

the other reasons sellers are MAD not to use the private listing feature and is to HIDE what they are moving stockwise from competition and at what prices. You will be shocked by hiding what you are moving can do esp it you have hot moving product. As it keeps people guessing which product is moving and the ones NOT. and keeps competition out of the area for longer while they sit there trying to work out what moving and not

I told a lie.

EVERYTHING I have ever sold shows the title in my feedback. You just can't see what I have purchased.

If you are moving 'hot' items, it wouldn't be hard to see what you are charging for the ones you have listed. If you don't move many, and at varied prices, then you could be right.

I don't buy from sellers who have mundane items listed as 'private' and there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that I'm not alone.

It might show as 'private' in your feedback, but any member can see the price and description of everything you've sold in the last 90 days. Prior to that, the information is probably not useful anyway

silver-fox-bullion — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 07:20:15 GMT

yep but it take more time to do. Most will give up after a quick look at feedback rather then go through 100's or even thousands of listings to find the product/s where someone can get information so fast of feedback pages. as it all in 1 place rather than spread all over the place. Ps it not on this ID that I have my nice fast moving product with a nice profit margin. It not even related to this id in any shape or form. It been moving like hot cake for 6 months now and no competiton has even caught on to the product yet...

No wading required.

It's a simple matter of plugging an id into a field and ticking a box for sold items.

Re: Seller's Completed Listings

*tippy*toes* — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 09:14:17 GMT

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you can still see a seller's sold and completed listings regardless of whether they are private or not. You clearly still have a lot to learn.

Re: Seller's Completed Listings

davewil1964 — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 09:59:32 GMT

And this thread was about how to do it.

I guess silver-fox didn't bother to read it before wading in.

I am not an eBay seller; I am a buyer.

I would prefer not to purchase items listed as "private" by a seller. It gives rise to a distinct whiff of rotting fish (in my view).
