Selling - Has anyone else noticed the lack of customers looking at items on your site.

Question

I have been watching the number of views on the items I am listing on my site. It seems the the number of customers viewing my site have decreased significantly. Anyone else?

eBay also changed the way views were reported. The views you are seeing are actual human views; before, bot views were counted. I have had items sell with just 2 views, so I'm not really worried about views.

Hi @donnas412

You can ask this question any day of the year in any year and receive "yes" answers, depending on the types of items you're selling.

But here are a couple of common reasons for April (to add to the fact that the economy is the worst it's been in decades):

1. It's normal for most sellers for sales to decrease between April and September.

2. It's tax season and people are busy with that.

Hi @donnas412 'Views' has always been a notoriously unreliable statistic. I don't know if it's any better now.
