Frequently Asked Questions

Terapeak results differ from eBay completed listings search results in several important ways:

  • 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 specify. Generally, a listing or sale must 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.

This means the actual listing was removed or made unavailable, either by eBay or the seller.
