Ebay - Seeing real ending price for best offers

pootshwan · Apr 19, 2013

Up until this point I have been using the .au trick to see what items sold for. This is no longer working for me...

Is there another way to see what items have sold for in best offers?

Thanks,
Steve

.ca works like a champ!

Wasn't aware of any trick, seems like from my ebay app for iPhone I can see all best offer prices

It doesn't work on the eBay app for me, but it does if I just go to the website on my phone browser.

It works on the app for me, but if I click on the auction and then go back, the sold price shows as the original buy it now price. Hope that makes sense.

Instead of logging in to CA or AU ebay, I just search highest priced items first on completed and the best offer ones will land at whatever price it sold for, so you can get a pretty good idea on what it went for that way. Just narrow your search down enough to make it easy to find your item you want to know what its value is. Say, like the Jeff Bagwell 1999 Upper Deck Emerald Green #01 /22 card that sold a few days ago where someone on here wanted to know what the best offer price was. Just go search 1999 Black Diamond, highest priced items first, and then scroll down or Control F to find the Bagwell, you'll see it right in front of a $34.99 Michael Jordan card and behind a $35.00 Shareef Abdul Rahim card, so you know the offer was $35.

You would think by now eBay would realize that people have figured out a workaround and just let us see the sold at price without having to spend an extra 5 seconds chaing the url.

Can someone please explain this process, I was unaware of it prior to now. THANKS!

Where the .com is, either just add .ca after it, or change it to .ca

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=171026870638#ht_655wt_1172

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=171026870638

Once the item screen is up, i just go up to the url, delete the .com and type .ca and hit enter. It reroutes to the foreign site that shows sold price.

Found another way to see BO prices. Just click on the completed listing and then go back to the eBay home page right after. The first thing that should pop up on the top of the page in the sliding window is recently viewed items. It automatically posts the BO price underneath the item.

Sorry if this has been posted but I just realized it.

The real question is, why was this taken away in the first place?

+1, why remove a feature to make market price a mystery? With no references and a less educated buyer/seller population, you'll get some people who will offer more than going rate (ebay makes more money), but you'll get just the same number or more that will offer less than the going rate (i.e., ebay loses money). Doesn't seem to make much sense.

I think this may have been requested by larger sellers who are selling quantities of items. They do not want potential buyers to know what offers they have accepted, hoping to get them to pay more? Just a theory.

True, although I thought in the past the sale prices weren't shown until after the entire quantity had been sold for quantity listings. I'm not sure though.
