Did I Miss a Memo? Watchers Are Back On My Unsolds!

[moo*cow*corner]

Haven't been here on the boards much lately, so maybe I missed a memo?

Anybody else?

So helpful when I'm sorting through ended unsold listings, to help me decide what to relist, when, and for how much.

I hope that it stays this way!

Now, bring back the cubes!

*mini happy dance*

Thanks, ebay!

I don't think watchers ever vanished. It's the views that have gone bye bye (for whatever insane reason ebay thinks is rational)

[moo*cow*corner]

That's possible. I was sure that watchers were gone for awhile too. So much stuff changes so fast around here with no notice...I never know what I'm going to get when I open the Hub!

Items that had watchers when they ended got looked at sooner for relisting, and for possible price reductions. In the hope that the interested party simply missed the ending and might still be looking.

I used to use traffic counts in the same way. Items that got little traffic were more likely to get donated or given away, never to be relisted. Sometimes low traffic items got a vacation, and relisted later. Higher traffic items always got priority.

So sad that sometimes that it takes so little to make a seller so happy....even if the happiness is in error...I was genuinely excited there for a minute. Ha!

So this IS a thing...

I've noticed like - no views....on things. I thought maybe eBay had put a sheet over my account.

Maybe just a programming error?

I get watchers and views, but it's far fewer than before....Like 1 or 2 versus what would be 11 and 12

[moo*cow*corner]

Yes, it's a thing. Ebay has decided that we sellers don't need that information on ended listings. Pretty sure a blue (ebay employee) confirmed it was a deliberate change. Seems counter-productive to me. I found that specific data set to be very helpful.

I wish they would bring back the views in unsold and also ship cost! It would make relisting and pricing decisions so much easier.

You can still see both views and watchers on unsolds using this link.

That's a great find! Hopefully it will work for awhile yet. Thanks!
