View sold items on the eBay website
Advanced search is the easiest way to see how items have sold in the past. You can get there by clicking Advanced next to the big blue search button on the homepage.

On the next page, type your article keywords. This could be the title or model number of what you want to sell or buy. You can also choose a relevant category to narrow your search.
Check the box next to it Completed lists. You could select: Sold offers, but you’ll only see items sold to a buyer on eBay, while completed listings will show you all past listings, whether they’ve been sold or not. We recommend the latter, as seeing items that didn’t sell because they were overpriced can help determine an optimal selling price.
