Fraud (promoting)
So, I’ve noticed a pattern. If you don’t promote your card, the actual views don’t show up for 12-24 hours. Almost like EBay is hiding views to mandate that you promote your listing. Have others experience this. Let me know, we will stop this!

·Jul 19, 2026 at 4:08 PMHow about that you only have 7 items listed on the account currently in a sea of like 10's of thousands of listings, so ya they are going to get lost in the mix.
Suggestion, get rid of that background you have in some of your listings. On a 17 inch monitor, the cards are getting lost in the background and can't imagine looking at them on the phone and maybe could be why they aren't getting viewed. Lots of people open/buy not only buy the title but also what they are seeing before they open the listing.

It is not a real-time function.
Was variable before promotion existed.

·Jul 19, 2026 at 3:46 PMI don't deal with cards so I am not sure if what I am writing is pertinent. I do not promote anything. Yet when I list thing the views/watchers start showing up within a few hours. In fact I have had sales within an hour of listing some things.
