When I look up completed listing and click on the auction for a BIN BO it always shows the Sold For as the BIN price. Before it used to show what the accepted offer actually was. Are my settings jacked up or is this the norm?

its the norm. you have to click on the auction for the actual sale price. someone else asked this same question a few days ago.

There is a glitch where even if you click on the listing it is only showing that it "sold" at the buy it now, even if a best offer was accepted, and is not showing the best offer price at all. I know for a fact that it's a glitch since I sold a Delino Deshields Red Ref Auto for $305 BO, but it says "Sold For: $475" when I look at the item, even when I click the link from My ebay. Obviously I know it's wrong since I sold it for $305. Supposedly ebay is looking into it, but I wouldn't be surprised if this glitch doesn't get fixed for a long time since Ebay is run by clueless assclowns.

Again I will ask why would they want to fix it? eBay knows that buyers research completed sales before offering/buying BINs. Only showing the asking price creates a space where the offers are higher and they make more money.

I noticed this a few weeks ago so I signed up for a 7 day free trial of terapeak and wow what a difference. One card that showed sold at bin of $75.00 actually sold for $30 according to terapeak. It's still not worth the $29/mth for teapeak for me because the searches take so long it was painful.

While true, it's not the point. Collectors know ebay isn't showing the correct sale price and are trying to find a way to get correct info.

If ebay's going to do this, I'd rather they not have completed listings at all.

Thanks for the info. I knew something had to be going on. It is a huge pain because I use it more to determine what I should list my own BIN at. Man I hate eBay.

Wish COMC had the same traffic as eBay. I love their service, but you do not get the same return on COMC as you do on eBay when a players cards spike.

Okay, so I was force fed this new format today and cannot figure out how to even check completed listings.. any ideas? I'll keep looking in the meantime.

EDIT: NVM found it
