completed items disappearing off ebay
What is it that determines if an item listed on ebay, sold or unsold, disappears after say one or 2 weeks? (I have found that items disappear after
about 6 months but these are more recentthan that, wihtin last month.)
For example, I bid on a bike (pedal) which did not reach reserve and now it no longer appears in my "not won" list nor can I find any
trace of it in completed items.
Another bike (motor)
 <--- linky
was in a no reserve auction and top bid was about 8 K. Now it is up for £ 18; original seller was in Worcester so I am wondering if a) it is same
seller who realised that a no reserve auction is gonna take the p155 and decided not to sell or b) it is the buyer trying to make a huge profit.
The item does not appear in completed items so back to original question - can a seller delete old items or how else do they disappear?

I think they stay there for about 90 days then they are purged to save disk space on ebay's pc cos they can't afford a bigger hard drive
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

I agree about 90 days purge but these items weree definitely within the last month, if not within the last 2 weeks.
