How to View Sold Items on eBay (2026): Desktop & Mobile Guide

Sold listings show what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hope to get. That makes them the most useful free pricing data on eBay. This guide shows how to view sold items on eBay in 2026, on desktop and in the mobile app, how to see what a specific seller has sold, how far back the data goes, and what to do when the sold filter seems to have disappeared.

Quick answer: To view sold items on eBay, search for the item, then turn on the "Sold Items" filter. On desktop it sits in the left sidebar under "Show only". In the eBay app, tap Filter after you search and switch on Sold items. The filter covers listings that sold in the previous 90 days. For up to 3 years of sales data, use Product research in Seller Hub, which eBay makes available to sellers with Seller Hub access at no extra charge on eBay.com.

• Desktop: search, scroll the sidebar to "Show only" and tick "Sold Items".
• App: search, tap Filter, switch on Sold items, then show results.
• One seller's sales: use Advanced Search, enter the seller's user ID under Sellers, and tick "Sold items".
• Older sales: Product research in Seller Hub goes back up to 3 years.

How to view sold items on eBay on desktop

Desktop is where the filters are easiest to see and the results easiest to compare.

1. Search for the exact item. Be specific. "iPhone 13" returns a mix of models, storage sizes and conditions. "iPhone 13 128GB unlocked" returns sales you can actually compare.
2. Find "Show only" in the left sidebar. Scroll down the filters until you reach it.
3. Tick "Sold Items". The results switch to listings that ended with a sale, each with its sale date and final price.
4. Narrow and sort. Add the condition, and any item specifics that matter for the product, then sort by "Price + Shipping: lowest first" to see the full range buyers paid.

Sold items vs completed items

The same "Show only" section also has "Completed Items". Completed items are listings that have ended, whether or not they sold. Sold items are the ones that ended with a buyer. Read both together: a price that appears again and again in completed listings that didn't sell tells you where buyers stopped paying.

Use Advanced Search for tighter comparisons

eBay's Advanced Search puts every filter on one page. Under "Search including" you can tick "Sold items" or "Completed items", and you can set condition, price range and location before you run the search. Our eBay Advanced Search guide covers the filters that matter most for pricing, and our repeatable product research method turns these checks into a weekly routine.

How to view sold items in the eBay app

The app hides the sold filter a level deeper, which is why many sellers assume it's gone. It isn't.

1. Open the eBay app and search for the item.
2. Tap Filter on the results screen.
3. Scroll to the Sold items option. In some versions of the app it sits under a "Show more" or "Show only" section.
4. Switch it on, then tap the button to show results.

The labels and their order shift a little between app versions, so if you don't see Sold items straight away, look under the expanded filter list rather than the first few filters. The app works well for a quick check in a store or at a garage sale. For comparing dozens of products, the desktop view is faster.

How to see what a specific seller has sold

A competitor's sold items are a list of products with proven demand in your niche. The dependable way to see them is Advanced Search:

1. Open eBay Advanced Search.
2. Under "Search including", tick Sold items.
3. Under Sellers, choose Only show items from, select Specific sellers (enter sellers' user IDs), keep it on Include, and type the seller's user ID.
4. Add a keyword or category to focus on one product line, then run the search.

You get that seller's sales from the previous 90 days, with prices and dates. Doing this store by store takes time, and you still have to find a supplier for every product you like. Before you chase every item a competitor sold, decide what fits your own store.

How far back can you see sold items on eBay?

The sold filter shows only listings that sold in the previous 90 days. For seasonality or longer trends, you need Product research. According to eBay's Product research help page, sellers with Seller Hub access can use it from the Seller Hub Research tab and the mobile apps, and it gives access to the last 3 years of eBay sales data. It shows sales trends, average sales price, sold price range, average shipping cost, the total number of sellers who sold the item, and sell-through rate for searches of items sold 90 days ago or less.

One regional difference: on eBay Australia, Product research tools are only available to Pro sellers. Our guide to eBay product research tools in Australia covers the options there. For more on the tool itself, read our Terapeak product research walkthrough, and if you have outgrown it, our roundup of Terapeak alternatives compares other research tools.

Why can't I see sold listings on eBay?

When sold listings seem to have vanished, it's usually one of these:

• The filter isn't on. Search results show active listings by default. Tick "Sold Items" under "Show only" on desktop, or turn on Sold items under Filter in the app.
• The app tucks it away. Look under the expanded filter list, not only the first few filters.
• The sale is older than 90 days. The sold filter doesn't reach further back. Use Product research for up to 3 years.
• Your search is too narrow. A misspelling or an over-specific phrase can return nothing. Broaden the keywords, then narrow with filters.

eBay hasn't removed the sold filter. "Sold Items" still appears under "Show only" in search results, and "Sold items" is still on the Advanced Search page.

How to read sold listings for pricing

Viewing sold items is easy. Reading them well takes a little discipline.

• Compare like with like. Match condition, model, size and bundle contents. A sale with the original box and charger isn't a comparable for a bare unit.
• Count shipping. Sort by price plus shipping, because buyers compare the total.
• Look at volume, not one sale. One high sale is an outlier. A cluster of sales at a similar price is the market.
• Check how fast it sells. Sold listings next to active ones show whether demand keeps up with supply. Our guide to eBay sell-through rate explains how to calculate it.

How to do this in Ecomli

Checking sold items by hand works for one product. For a dropshipping store, the slow part is what comes next: finding a supplier for each product that sold, pricing it and listing it. Ecomli is a non-API browser extension for eBay dropshippers that works through the eBay seller account already signed in to your desktop Chrome browser, so there is no API connection to authorize.

1. Research a seller with Product Hunting. It researches an eBay seller's sold history or current listings and matches those products to Amazon or AliExpress. You can also search Amazon keywords, Best Sellers, category, brand or store pages, or paste an AliExpress store link.
2. Filter the matches. Narrow by price, keywords, reviews and ratings, Amazon FBA and AliExpress Choice. Rows that Safety Shield flags are blocked. A match is a starting point to check, not proof of profit.
3. Save, export or send. Save and resume the hunt, export it as a CSV, or send picks straight to Create Listings. "Clone" hands a matched competitor listing to the lister.
4. List and keep it accurate. Create Listings prices each product with your markup and fills eBay's listing form in your seller session, up to 10 listings at a time. Stock Monitoring then updates the eBay price and quantity, or ends out-of-stock items, by your rules.

When an order comes in, Starter uses manual ordering. On Pro, Basic Auto Ordering places the supplier order in your own browser when you click Auto Order, and on Scale, Advanced Auto Ordering runs on Ecomli's servers and places the supplier order for new eBay orders without a click, as long as each order is within your buying limits. You can compare Ecomli's plans to see which fits your volume.
