Question Re: Scheduled listing in Selling on eBay DND

Scheduled listing

05skipper58 — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 10:52:38 GMT

Has anyone had the same experince as I have. I scheduled 9 items to start three hours after listing them. I was pleasantly surprised to see that when they became live they had views of between 5 and 7. Three days later they have had exactly nil extra viewings on all 9 items. Is this something to do with scheduled listings?

the view counter doesn't work properly,

never rely on it for accurate information

I scheduled an item for sale on eBay a few years back and despite the item supposedly receiving no views I received at least half a dozen bids on the item and sold it for quite a decent price compared to how much I was expecting to get for it! Therefore, don't rely on eBay to provide you with an accurate count of how many people have actually viewed your item. There are so many things on the site that don't work as they should do, the view counter being one of them, that it's not really worth taking eBay's information seriously with regards to the number of views that your item has actually received.

I think that the views when listed are probably for listings sent to Members with Saved Searches.

I would not place too much reliance on any of these figures as I have had bids on listings which according to ebay have not even been viewed.
