I agree on both counts, especially the sort. I imagine their database would get pretty out of hand if they saved all old listings. 1 year, as opposed to the current 90 days would be nice though. I've e-mailed eekBay about the sort feature, if enough people request it it will probably happen. (hint,hint) Another suggestion I made is that when a member *earns* "No longer a registered user" status, all of their feedbacks, given and recieved, should cease to exist. These are usually some of the worst eekBayers and should not affect the score of the good ones.
