Ebay Views vs. Responses: What's Your Take?
Summary: tsr139 raised concerns about discrepancies between the number of views and actual responses on their eBay listings compared to free platforms, questioning if this is due to scams or an overcrowded market. They suggested allowing sellers to view who looks at their items and to make offers based on buyer ratings. tsr139 also noted that their initial post quickly garnered two views, speculating whether bots might be responsible and questioning eBay's claimed reach.
Many of us have noticed discrepancies between the number of views our listings receive on eBay and the responses or enquiries we actually get. This seems to differ from what we experience on other free platforms. What factors do you think contribute to this? Scam or overcrowded overpriced arena? Let sellers view who viewed items? Maybe even go as far as allowing a seller to approach a verified viewer or watcher with a personalised offer based on their own rating as buyers.
100% open offer sellers choice
90% list price minus 20%
And so on.

The short answer is that view counts have always been completely random and unreliable.
