Number of people watching not showing up in searches or in the description!

The number of people watching are not showing up in search and are not being shown when clicking on the listing and viewing the description.    This needs to be put back.  It helps sell items.  I am seeing it in the search on a few items, but they are not showing up on my items, when I use a different browser.  When I click on the listing all it might say is 1 watched in last 24 hours.  And sometimes it doesn't even show that!  That isn't enough!  I have several people watching the same items, but no sales.    This is critical to help sell items!

I've reached that age where my brain goes from "you probably shouldn't say that." To "what the heck, let's see what happens. "

This morning I have 30 items being watched.  Many with multiple watchers.  But the Watchers don't know that there are other watchers?  One listing has 8 watchers!  Without the Number of Watchers in searches and within the listing items don't sell!!! Competition sells items!!! Why has eBay eliminated this on listings.  When I did a search for my key words only a couple items from other sellers had it next to their listing and had the # of watchers in just search. 

By this time last year I had over 20 items that had sold.  So far I have had one sale in November

 I am wondering... Is this another way that they are forcing us to use Promoted listings?  Does Promoted Listings get you number of watcher on your listings???  And if it is, why is eBay  silent on this?

>>Is this another way that they are forcing us to use Promoted listings?

I fail to see what having the number of watchers visible to buyers has to do with Promoted listings.

>>Does Promoted Listings get you number of watcher on your listings???

No.

>>And if it is, why is eBay silent on this?

Because there is nothing for them to say. eBay intentionally removed watchers (multiple times?) for whatever reason. (there may have been a post on that by an eBay blue at some point many months ago when this topic was beaten to death, but I don't recall if there was or where.)

(eBay is not listening to you in this forum, and even if they were, would show no indication of it. If you want to complain about it call CS, and/or use the "Tell us what you think" things.)
