"xx number of people are watching this" message
Some listings say in the ad "xx number of people are watching this". Sometimes I see that same
thing in items in my watchlist, but not ALL items. It's an obvious psychological motivator.
I've looked and I don't see that it's an eBay service. Is it a feature of one of those monthly cost
marketing plans that eBay offers?

Mentor3 years agoeBay only displays that message if a certain threshold number of watchers is met, or if eBay calculates that such a message might result in increased sales compared to alternative messages.

Mentor3 years agoNo. People are actually watching those items. Not a service, no fee, just people putting items on their watch lists.
I have watchers on one quarter of my items for sale. Most will never buy.
