Whats the opposite of "purchase history"? I would say "sales history" as "sale history" sounds weird to me. Sorry, I know it's not urgent, just english is not my first language...
>>

Purchase means you have bought something.
So purchase history is a catalogue of things you have bought.
Sales are things you have sold.
Salea history is a catalogue of the things you have sold.

isn't "purchase" singular tho? that's why I thought about "sale" but it sounds so wrong.
>>
>>18282991
A purchase is when you buy something.
A sale is when someone buys something from you.

Cheers, anon, and don't give up. English is a very complex and beautiful language.

>>18283034
They know that, they want to know if sales history sounds good. It does to me but I'm not a native speaker either.
>>
Transaction history would cover both
>>
>>18283048
true, I just need to differentiate them.

I just need to know if I should use singular sale or plural sales in your opinion (native speakers)
>>
>>18283013
Sales history sounds more right, never heard sale history. I often see purchase history and never purchases history, though. Purchases/Sale history both work per se, but sound a bit off to me as a native speaker.

I think this is a case where it doesn't matter about the plural/singular aspects, it's just what we say, like a phrase.
>>
>>18283066
Thank you so much anon, so purchase history and sales history it is.

Last question: how does "feedback history" sound? Major sites use things like Feedback Profile or feedback score.
>>
>>18283073
Feedback history sounds good and makes sense, I'm not sure of any alternatives.
>>
>>18283081
Yeah, it not being a Profile nor using a Score didn't make me want to use those words.
Feedback history is never used by anybody, but as you said it makes sense for someone wanting to look for all the feedback left to somebody.

Thank you again Anon, have a nice day!

Singular purchase, plural sales
