Views/watchers count

[kararm3]

Hello,

I'm quite new to eBay and I'm only a small seller but in the past 2 weeks I've not been able to make any sense of my watcher/views count.

I relist items because they haven't sold, presumably due to very low views, I drop the price, and yet I've got items on now that are showing 0 views and no watchers, 0 views but 2 watchers etc etc. I sell mainly vinyl records and had a reasonable number of sales to watchers over the past 3 months, now, all is chaos.

Anyone got any comments please.

Thanks

• There are a number of issues regularly being raised on the messageboards at the moment ....so here is a brief summary & what to do.....
•
• APP ISSUES
•
• Purchase History being shown in full.......eBay are aware & this will probably require the next update to fix
•
• Payment problems with Paypal requiring a connection even though connected to the Internet .......this is a long standing issue which happens occasionally.........log into eBay with a web browser & use the Pay Now link which will allow you to pay
•
• Messages being sent to the sender not the intended recipient - log into eBay with a web browser & use the messaging option from there
•
•
• General Issues
•
• View Counter not working - eBay are aware and are working on a solution but this is only cosmetic as items are still being viewed & watched - The counter means nothing.....items are still visible & being viewed & itr does not affect the chances of an item seling
•
• Business Seller Returns Policy Requirement For Auctions - Not clear at this time if this is now a requirement in closing a loophole or a bug

View counter has been broken for weeks, does not mean your items are not being viewed.

The view counter has been broken for about 3 weeks, ebay are aware and are trying to fix it.

It doesn't mean potential buyers aren't looking at your listings though.
