I have been trying to get a feel for certain coin types on ebay. According to the Internet, the sold items listings are kept for 2 years. However, I was running searches for nickel WDDR coins and coming up empty. I bought two earlier this year, so I entered 2014 nickel wddr and the search returned empty. I checked my invoice and all those terms were in the listing title.

Is the sold items search just broken?

As a seller with a store I can search sold listings for the last 3 years through terapeak product research. Without a store I think the search only goes back 90 days on completed/sold listings.

Terapeak is a good tool for ebay sellers. Terapeak results differ from ebay completed listings search results which is for a very casual glance, in several important ways as mentioned below
.
Terapeak https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/s...-SEO?id=4853
https://www.ebay.com/sellercenter/g...search-tools

Another was worthpoint.com, again depends how deep someone needs to research. Worthpoint I remember had a trial if you just want to use it to lookup just a few things.

Some of the differences mentioned:
More complete data: Terapeak search results include listings with sales, listings without sales, and active listings. ebay completed listings results include only listings whose outcomes are already known

Calculated metrics: Terapeak calculates a broad range of metrics for the results of any search, including average prices, shipping costs and terms, competition levels, sell-through rates, upward or downward trends, and more. ebay completed listings results include only listing-by-listing figures

Longer time periods: Terapeak enables users to search time periods of any length, across the last 3 years. ebay completed listings results include only listings that have recently ended

Search specificity: Terapeak search results are intended to be highly specific to the searches that you construct; in general, a listing or sale must exactly match your search keywords and parameters to be included in results. ebay search results often include other "related" results, particularly if the search that you enter matches few or zero listings or sales
