has the "sold items" search been removed?

[sam_sawnoff]

After being happily surprised to find I could refine completed items searches to show only "sold items"

this option seems to be no longer available.

Is it likely to be reinstated?

I think it's something that eBay is still "fiddling" with.

If you have an iPhone you can refine your search to only show Sold Completed.

Must be random, as I'm still seeing the option to show completed listings both in the normal search results and advanced search.

A while ago they removed the option to sort completed listings by number of bids most / fewest first, and that was a good way to get a little insight on what was popular without having to look at pages of unsold items, but I don't think that's coming back.

d*g, you can still search for Completed but for a while you could also select to show only the green Sold items withing Completed.

Oh, I must have missed that - darn, that'd be even better than the bids one.

You could try one of the third party sites mentioned in this thread.
