eBay “sold” searches not working?

They get a %, just like ebay does.

Also, to get things back on track. Does anyone get anything if you even have a number in the title? I tried looking up Bowman 1st edition boxes and I get zero, but if I put in Bowman edition boxes I bet you can guess what happens, lol.

It seems to be random. I was looking at some items last night and I had a few searches that came up correctly, everything else came back with zero results and then I had to scour through all "related" items. I did some research on the issue and I can find that since 2015 ebay has been randomly breaking the sold auction searches. Just a super huge pain and have not found a way to make it work 100% of the time.

I found that searching items in Terepeak seems to work, however the issue with using Terepeak is you can't use slabwatch (if you use that) to see what items actually sold for. Just a bunch of random sold numbers so not a great way to do a search unless you search by auctions only. Does come up with a ton of results though.
