I tell ya, I am having a generally bad and generally 'weird' week, and that's not a good combination because it feels like forces out of my control, HA. First (as described in another post) there's these seller offers I keep getting for items I have never even clicked on. Then starting maybe 4 or 5 days ago, my store seems to be in sudden down-throttle mode, total viewcounts plummeting overnight, with even new postings of very popular items getting little or no views (and so yeah my sales have sucked too, and my latest auction closed much lower than expected, even WITH the 'express' promotion which usually works great for me). Yesterday I ended/sell similar'd all listings older than 30 days, maybe that will algorithm me back to normal traffic, guess I'll see.
And now, a new weirdness: this item I posted yesterday. I posted it at the same time as a few other things, and then a few hours later checked to see how they were doing, and I think maybe 1 or 2 of them had ONE view or something, and no watchers. But then another few hours later, this one still had zero views, but one WATCHER. Now tell me how the heck that is possible. I know ebay recently changed the display of views to (supposedly) include only real views by shoppers, not 'bot' views for 'no-no' listing scrutiny, internal logistical whateverness, etc. But I can think of no way anyone can watch something they have literally not SEEN. I thought maybe it was just a brief glitch that would change overnight, but nope, still there.
