Got an ebay question about past purchases.............

[d2]

Is there anyway to get my purchase history from 4-5 years ago? I purchased a book for my brother in law that I cant remember the name of. He passed away Saturday and we buried him yesterday and I want that book but dang if I can remember the name of it. I got it off of ebay and thought there may be some way to search back that far. Thanks...d2

Until someone pipes in - I searched and searched and searched! I can only find the ability to go back 3 years. Is it possible you saved your EBay messages in a separate folder? If you charged it - maybe you can check your credit card statements that may go back that far...

The only way I could think of would be to email ebay support and explain it to them. They may have your purchase history archived, but I wouldn't count on it.

You can always try, but I wouldn't count on it either.

Do you remember the subject matter of the book ?

 

[d2]

I thank you folks. Mojjax, the subject matter was African hunting. He has 100's of titles on the subject and this one was a first edition and was fairly expensive(for me) and old but I cant remember the name of it. I so appreciate the help...d2

Hi D2 , do you remember the age of the book - 1910's or 20's . Or was it newer ?
By the way - Sorry about the loss of your brother in law .

It was in that era 10's-20's. Mojjax, thanks...d2

If I were looking for that book, I'd type "African hunting book" into ebay's search engine. I just checked, and there are only 162 items that popped up. If you will do this once a week, you'll eventually find it in a few months.

I once read a book as a kid that was about the B-17 Flying Fortress. That book captured my imagination, but I couldn't remember the title. I found it with a few attemps on ebay.

If you paid through Paypal you could probably search back to the payment info. to see the title.

If not a paypal payment you should try some various image searches through google.

If a review was given you should be able to find the auction and then the title..

This is your best bet. Ebay doesn't (publically) keep records for very long but Paypal does.

Iron Patch, thanks that's the way we will find it. Man, we have bought a lot of stuff and paid with paypal. Sorting through it all now...d2
