View counts are usually based on rolling periods which can cause increases and decreases in the numbers.

 

These are always on seven day auctions , so im not sure how what you said applies. I can see VIEWS rising until the item ends, but decreasing?

Hi Kat - from last weeks 1 hour chat - you gave me an answer as to why Views Decrease on auctions.

Sadly my intelligence is below standard - could you please explain in more simple English and of course why ebay perform this function. ( assuming they wouldnt do something for no reason)

Hi @a45heaven ,

 eBay do remove bot traffic from view which is mostly done in real-time. However there is a secondary filtering process that performs a deeper analysis that removes bot traffic that may not have been caught by the real-time filtering, so it's possible that this can cause your auction views to decrease.

Thank  you,

Kat
