Views counts wrong

Relisted 50 items.  Less than a minute later they all had 1 to 10 views.  Another bug in the life of eBay.

Is definitely manipulation as i keep track of all of this and it just started happening after the GTC rollout. As i mention on another thread that i started some time ago, this is just to keep us seller's list more so we pass our limit and get the fees, exactly what you mention also. I am closing my store next month as i dropped to the level of sales that i had with just 50 listings free per month. I am moving to a new venue and start over again.

I'm just reaffirming all the responses to this point. What did happen just a few minutes ago was this. I listed 2 new items and found no item views. But, I ended an item that I relisted 2 days ago, which had 4 views, and relisted it immediately. Now, the item had 8 views in maybe a minute since I ended the item, and relisted it. It's not gold, so it's hard to believe the view counter. Crazy. I've only been on Ebay for a little over two years, nothing compared to some, but I've never seen anything like this. Again, Ebay can't control all their changes they make, plus, I'm starting to believe, it's manipulation like some have mentioned. Big brother might not care about us in making these speculative moves.

Still happening, can't get an answer from ebay C.S.. 

I submitted *newly created listings* and within seconds each had a view count.

My sales are down 90%.   

 

Actually there are quite a few functions that do not work on my account.

Get an error message, server down.  Been this way since GTC started.

 

Anyone get farther with any answers?

 

Thanks much,

Willow

I have quit buying too. Not one penny will I spend until this mess is cleaned up.

Relisted 6 items and added 10 new items all with zero views.... Maybe for once something got fixed in a timely fashion.

Newport, How can views carry over on a brand new listing?

 

Read your type of reply on several other discussions.

Yeah, I get it now and as of today (5/6) the views are still messed up after new listings.

Just listed a jacket and I had done a 'sell now' from another user selling the same thing. The actual text eBay provides is "Have one to sell? Sell now". Immediately upon listing it had 8 views. Did it pick up the views from the other person's listing? There is definitely a glitch somewhere here.
