Approximately 48 hours.

For a while, I entertained the idea of keeping an archive of ended auctions (thinking that statistics may be useful in some way), and then finally gave up on that, mostly because the database was growing up and causing performance problems. Now I keep this archive anywhere from a week to a month (in case people report problems after 48 hours expire), and then delete the old records.

Note that the archive does not contain users' passwords, only username, bid and the status of the auction, so there is hardly any personal information here that's not publicly available at ebay listing anyway.

How long (after an auction ends) do the results remain on the account page? Where do they "go" after removal? Is there an archive?

Thanks
