Sold listings not viewable any more...

[widgetc]

When something sells I usually click on the link in paypal to see the item. Now I get:

"The listing you’re looking for is no longer available. Check out this similar item we found for you. "

I don't want to look for a similar item! I want to see the item sold!

3 immediate family members use the same paypal account for but different eBay accounts. I want to see who sold the item!

Also the same thing happens from advanced search for sold items. I can't see who sold it so I can see their other items. I have in the past purchased many items that way.

"Fixing" things has again made things worse and I will purchase less as a result!

They've made some very significant changes to the way we view completed items.

I study completed items to get a feel for what collectors are purchasing.

The ability to do that has set eBay apart from other sites and it's been a great value to all collectors.

So sorry to see these changes.

Click on the "listing" in that sentence and it will bring you to the original completed item.

I brought up this issue yesterday on the weekly chat. Tyler said they are looking into it.

There was an article on ecommercebytes that I cited on another thread that mentioned this issue.

When you click on the highlighted word "listing" it will take you to the original listing you are looking for. I agree it's not what we want, but at least we can see the listing that sold, along with all the info.
