What's up with eBay?

I believe it was intentional and completely understand why. This gives them the opportunity to get an additional sales opportunity in front of a perspective buyer as opposed to a sale opportunity that already happened. They already collected their fee for the sold listing so it serves no benefit to them anymore. Presenting an active listing instead sure gives them an opportunity to make more money in fees this way. I’m shocked that nobody else has figured this out yet.

Sold item listing are working fine for me.

The sold listings are working for me like they always have.

I've noticed this for a couple of months now or so. However, to make it even flakier, on some of the items it redirects you to have the ability to see the original listing, and on some items it does not.

I've not determined a consistent parameter (timing, category, etc.) where it is available sometimes and where it is not available.

The issue has been resolved. As I predicted, someone just messed up their code and they later fixed it. It was definitely not working earlier though. But it is now working again as expected. Alas, order has been restored in the hobby.

That sucks. They do seem to be working on it though, as links which previously weren't working for me are now working. Their website is such a disaster from a developer's perspective though, so chasing down bugs is much more difficult than it should be. Gotta love legacy systems from the 90s lol

But it can hurt them.
I look up stuff to see what the last few sold for. I'm sure many people do.

If that info isn't available how many things get listed for low BINs reducing their fees from lower sales prices.

Some go straight to the finished listing and I can see them ,
Some go to a current listing without the option to see what I want to see
(I’m watching PSA8 75 Bretts and they Think I want to see a PSA2 )

Same here. PC/Firefox.

One thing I've noticed about Ebay weird stuff is it tends to roll out to different users at different times and sometimes things go back to normal for everyone.

I don't know if it's their way of testing a feature and how effective it is or some kind of unintended error.

99 times out of 100 when I want to see a closed listing I want info on that specific option, not to see where other options are. I want to see the closing price, the condition of the card that sold for that price, etc.
