Retrieving a listing ?

tetibird — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 10:51:14 GMT

I'm wondering if this is possible.

I bought some paintings a few months ago - the original listing of 3 very large paintings had the sizes. However the but the seller in response to enquiries from two sellers relisted them separately for each buyer, without particular details & I bought one lot.

I ony have the listing I bought from which does not have the sizes. I'm now looking for canvas frames for them & I've forgotten the original sizes from the original listing & don't really want to unroll them again unnecessarily. Is there anyway possible to track down the original listing using the seller's identity to track down the sizes?

Thanks

In purchase history probably in Archived which goes back 3 years.

Tick the box time box ie 2014 purchases.

Sorry, it's not the listing I bought the paintings on, it was the original listing before the seller relisted the paintings separately (which of course I did not buy from) & it is not in my archives.

You could try by going into the sellers items and in the left margin select completed listings.

But I am pretty sure only listings within 30 days remain there.

Sometimes googling can bring up listings still floating around in cyber space.

If the sale was in the last 90 days, and other listing sold, and the buyer left the seller feedback, there should be a "view item" link on the feedback received for that item.

Excellent thinking DG.

You must have been a Sherlock Holmes in a previous life.

I wish. 😄 As a youngster, I devoured detective stories, movies etc and wanted to be a PI right up until my early 20's, when a bouncer in a nightclub told me that his last job was as a PI, and he spent the vast majority of his time stuck in parked cars, spying on spouses suspected of cheating an not so much PI-ing, but P-ing into empty soft drink bottles.

Still get that little twinge of what coulda been when I watch the new Sherlock, or classics like The Maltese Falcon, though (reality can't kill the fantasist in me entirely. 😄 ).

Me, I'd unroll them and make my own measurements rather than going on the sellers measurments.

Be a b*gger if you had the frames made up then found they didn't fit.

Best to keep it that way.

I was with a music band in my earlier years and we often played at the Old Lion in Adelaide.

I met and talked with one of the waitresses, very intelligent and attractive, and she was to my surprised in the middle of becoming a PI.

Back then I always thought PI's were all men, so I was impressed she was doing something she wanted to do.

One of my faves is Young Sherlock Holmes, the movie.

And Padi has a good point tetibird.

Ah, I'm just stalking you kopes, but with this one the only size is what you measure it up to.

Imagine if you had a rare old piece of oak and chopped it up to make a frame...............

I played a bit on stage too, nothing special nothing grand, just a bit of blues.

God, those lights are hot, especially when the foldback ain't working.................................

As a person who makes frames, I'd have to agree with the people who suggest you unroll the paintings and take exact (to the mm) measurements yourself. That really is the only way.
