Hello,

I realize you can go to PayPal, you can download your history from day one to get the purchase prices that you paid years ago and forgot to write down. The problem is if you bought 20 cards from one person it shows up in one payment, and no way to tell each card price.

I just noticed today that my eBay feedback is showing every price for every item I've bought from Dec 7 2006 until today. (38 pages)

I have been on eBay since Mar 2000 and could swear that the prices would be blank after a certain amount of time, as I collect LPs CD's and Tapes and was always going there to write down prices before they vanished. I havent done that for a while, anyone know when they changed this? I checked other members feedback and they all only show less than a year.

Thanks

Very interesting, I'm not sure when they did this, but I'm glad you mentioned it, its fun to look back at some of the stuff I bought and how much I paid for them.

It does seem to have a cut off as I've been on ebay since 1998, and some of the first items I see in the feedback with prices look to be around 2006 or so.

Hello,

Any way we can use that for pricing?

Thanks

Let's stick to recent prices. I don't think there will be too many prices from 2002 that would be valid today.

Hello,

I didn't mean that, more like once the 90 days previous auction disappear forever at least there is something that you can still see.

Before eBay decides to change it back, I copied and pasted all my feedback with the prices just for my own use, I am putting in prices for cards and music albums that I bought 15 years ago that PayPal didnt have the info I needed.

Thanks

You could but use the right date. Only the most recent 9 prices are taken into the median price. But don't if they are  not common cards already listed multiple times. I love seeing the older prices but they can be annoying. 

Good stuff, just went and download all my transactions. I did notice that it does not reflect any best offer amounts, just shows the asking price, so kinda like worthpoint's data.
