Vanishing Views

[sellingmystuff642]

What is going on with viewing totals on ebay? The other day I had something like 12 views for an item I listed under a week ago, then those views suddenly disappeared and it now says 2. I have had other items that have lost views as well. Sometimes you get a number of views for a newly listed item then they just stop dead and rarely increase. It's often impossible to tell if a listing is getting views or not.

Most buyers won’t be searching in 2 places, they are either here or over there.

eBay is getting a lot harder in some categories and views are noticeably falling. I sold 39 comics to one buyer over there 2 days ago, I don’t feel the same traction listing them over here. But then some established comic sellers (which I’m not, and won’t have many followers for those items), have a captive audience here and still seem to be doing really well.

I don't understand those who think that views are carried forward when relisting. Number of views only applies to the current listing, so when you relist it has to be zero.
