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.

The counter re-sets but you can go to ‘see traffic history‘ on a listing and view up to the past 2 years. 

Just my perception, but a few years back when they made this change it seemed to coincide with a lot of discontent and people saying that eBay was getting quiet.
