Do you know the account username? If so, what happens when you try to sign in? If not, try signing in using the email address connected to that old account in place of the username. If eBay prompts you to create a new account when using the same email address, that is an indication that the old account is likely gone.

You'll see items you bought in the last 60 days when you go to your purchase history. To see older items you've bought, you can change the date range displayed. Go to See orders from at the top of your purchase history and choose the year from the dropdown.
