Sold history on listings question
 

Related to how the sold amount shows when you find your listing in the search engine. I have 2 listings; one sold 19, another 38. When I look up my listing that sold 19, I see in red letters underneath that "19 sold"; however, when I look up the second one, it doesn't show anything sold despite around 38 sold.

Any insight?

All I can guess is that it's too much sold to say the exact number sold if you know what I mean.

Can you see on the listing where it says "3 remaining in stock", "more than 10 available" etc ?

You're talking about in search results, right? Not on the item page...

The red number (in search results) isn't guaranteed to show up regardless of how many you've sold. eBay attempts to explain stuff like this in their community forums all the time. Factors like listing popularity and sales velocity are considered from what I understand.

Yup, it seems to generally need to be a "hot" item in that category.

Sales velocity is actually higher on the one that doesn't show :) I just it's just random.
