Buyer History of an Item

Hello everyone,

I'm looking at making some purchases but before I do I obviouslly want to know if my item can sell...

I checked out the auctions already on eBay, and found most of them were buy it now's. With sellers have hundreds of items available. I decided then to look at people who had purchased the products (how many of them).

I noticed one seller had sold numerous of my item in December and since then there have (according to the page) been no more purchases?

It's not a particularly seasonal product, so that wouldn't explain it. Is it possible that the seller has chosen to hide any recent purchases made on the buy it now auction?

Thanks

Chalky

    A history cannot be hidden, maybe seller had a few weeks off or something or maybe the product has actually stopped selling?

    He may have just got more in stock.

    OK thanks. Perhaps they did run out of stock of the item, or as you say stop selling for a period.
