this box is too small! I use chinglish! ebay delete bought listed itmes tooo soon, need extra week for items from china will ebay fix?

[eledev]

Items from my buy list are automatically deleted too soon, items arrive a few days after I have sellers issue a refund, or, in some cases after the item is deleted from my purchased items list.

This is REALLY annoying and a hell of a hastle for both buyers and sellers as I keep having to re-issue payments. I just had one seller not send half an order and missed the auto deletion by one day, I'm PISSED OFF to say the least.

IIRC ebay advertizes a 2 year archive of bought items, so like, what the hell?

Is there a setting I can change or is this going to be a permanent pain in my *55?

Hi eledev.. Purchase history.. do you have "period" in recent set to last 60 days.

Can access any item in archived for 90 days by activating the button.

Can refund the refund in PayPal.

Can leave feedback for 60 days by visiting the feedback forum on left this page. ?

I keep the period set to 60 days,If I change "show" from recent to archived, I do see a bunch of old items. However,

the list starts with a bunch of items I'v just bought, should there be overlap between arvhived items and recent items?

If a seller removes a store listing before I recieve an item, does the item get automatically archived from my list of purchased items?

That could explain why I have seen items dissapear from my purchase list long before even 60 days is up.

Refunding the refund is a good point, although many of the sellers have specified a different account to make repayment to.

Imagine the effect of changing the feedback cutoff from 22(?) days to 1 week, people would have to demand refunds all over the place. Now imagine if it was a 90 day cutoff, everyone should have lots of time to leave feedback after their item arrived.
