Another issue is that if you DELIST and then RELIST you item is NOT coming up as a NEW ITEM at the top of whatever search page, so a totally pointless exercise if you want to be seen as a NEW LISTING. The only way to do that now is to DELIST and press SELL SIMILAR to get up as a new listing at the top of the page. There was a thread about this absolutely ridiculous anomaly. And you can check that by going to your own listings and selecting newly listed, and whilst those items that you think you have just newly listed are there, you will find them at the bottom of your own items in supposed newly listed order, only on your own items it gives the right date, however in general search as if a customer on the eBay search of all sellers your items will still appear as if you had listed say in March not July, i.e., at the bottom of the HEAP, and that is when they start messaging you to promote your listing, after a month or so of this, not getting a sale. It can be fixed to some extent by delisting and using sell similar option instead, but it takes way way longer. However it will guarantee that your listing appears at the top again when buyers search for NEWLY LISTED items! I am afraid just another glitch or perhaps not (deliberate eBay ploy), so as to extract more money from sellers by offering their fix of promoted listings, costing an extra arm and a leg. Trouble is most do not know about this glitch that has been happening for 3 or 4 months now, and I guess will just give up on this site, as thousands are because sales are diabolical, and as you rightly say views down, watchers down. It is like going fishing, only pull the line in, and move to another location with some fresh bait, and you might find some fish, by ensuring your listings get back to the top of search again, and Sell Similar IS THE ONLY WAY TO CURRENTLY DO THAT NOW! Good luck.
