By Impran M N
eBay doesn't let you permanently delete purchase history, but you can hide or archive orders to keep your account cleaner and more private, then unhide them later if needed. This guide covers moving orders to the hidden list and restoring them when you want to see them again.
01Open My eBay Purchase History
Go to the Purchase History section under My eBay to see all your orders.
02Select the orders to hide
Choose the specific purchases you want to remove from your main list.
03Move them to the hidden or archived list
Use the available option to archive or hide the selected orders so they no longer appear in your default view.
04Unhide items later if needed
You can return to the archived or hidden list at any time and restore an order back to your main purchase history.
05Repeat on web or mobile
The same hide and unhide process works whether you're using the eBay website or the mobile app.
06Know what stays visible to eBay
Hiding an order only changes what you see in your regular view — the order information remains visible to eBay itself.
