Older pictures?
So, it seems like eBay is finally removing old archived listings/images. It makes sense on their end (only so much server space and all that), but it stinks for those of us that are looking for older pieces in this forum. Has anyone kept an archive of Paul's listed artworks?

Re: Older pictures?
This is weird.
If i use my bookmark for Paul's eBay store, i get to it - but it says "0 items".
I thought perhaps my bookmark was corrupted, so i tried the link on the comic page - and it says "0 items", too.
I click your link, and it takes me to the page with the Atsali picture you posted.
Is a puzzlement.

Re: Older pictures?
That is peculiar. There are two more listings right now.

Re: Older pictures?
My guess would be a data replication problem.
eBay's system certainly consists of many thousands of individual servers which divide up the workload of showing and managing auctions. They operate from a database which is replicated across multiple file servers (for reliability and performance) and is supposed to be consistent and synchronized (so that the same data is "seen" no matter which front-end server addresses which database server).
There are all sorts of problems which can cause some of the servers to drop out of synchronization with others. When that happens, different users end up seeing different results for the same input. These problems tend to be fairly short-lived.
It might also be a staleness issue. If eBay has started purging older data from their database (as duckbeast reports) then maybe some older bookmarked links have "lost their context" and will not work properly in the future.

Re: Older pictures?
Are there any currently-posted items?
I justr cleared my browser cache and want to see if that helps, but i need to know if i should be seeing anything...

Zero items for sale at the moment, according to the Android eBay app.

Re: Older pictures?
Gave me a scare, thinking they wouldn't show past sales!
I never thought about bookmarking them. I just saved them all.

Re: Older pictures?
If you go further back in this forum, you'll see that older sales aren't showing up anymore. Recent ones weren't affected by whatever data purge they did and are still showing up.
You've saved a good amount of the older pictures locally, then?

...so would the two of you be willing to do an Imgur dump of what you've collected, perhaps?AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 6:26 pm Me too.

Re: Older pictures?
I’d certainly appreciate it if I could get in on this. While I have some parked on Ext Hard Drive(s), I know I lost a good chunk to misfortune this year.

Is this the link you've been using?
https://www.ebay.com/sch/pablowapsi/m.h ... 6732.m1684
What I see has two pages of posts going back to Aug 15. I'm sure they have to cut off past postings at some point, but three months seems pretty good for someone putting up items every few days.
My collection is pretty deep, so let me know and I'll put up directory Gallery screenshots (1079 items so far) if you want, and sort it out from there.
