Why does eBay wipe your purchase history after time...can't leave feedback sometimes???

Many times I've waited (especially for items from China) up to 2 months for arrival and when received I cannot leave feedback because eBay has removed the purchase history.  This seems counterproductive to everyone!!  I believe FEEDBACK is crucial.  Often a transaction has good "unreported" from this user.  Why can't we have ALL item purchased on a record for up to a year and manage our files ourselves.  Sometimes, I would like to repeat a purchase and cannot remember the seller or his terms and looking back would make it easier.  Come eBay...this is aggravating.  Amazon does it better...just saying.  😉

Feedback is voluntary, not crucial. In the past, ebay did allow 90 days to leave feedback but for whatever reason, they shortened it to 60 days a few years ago. I believe you can still view a listing if you have the item number for up to 90 days.

“Why can't we have ALL item purchased on a record for up to a year and manage our files ourselves. “

Members do not need ebay’s help to keep track of their own transactions. Members can use a spreadsheet or screenshots of the transactions.

“Amazon does it better...just saying.”

Then shop at Amazon.

By the way, one of ebay's problems is that they are trying to be like Amazon.

“Come eBay...”
