Items ending with no views

[laurabeardsley]

I understand sales are slow but when multiple items end without even 1 view after 7 days and they are priced low something is wrong. This tells me these listings are not being seen.So to pay 30 cents to list and not getting any views that is quite scary. Ebay really needs to address this and explain the problem to the sellers.If people are looking but not buying I can try to fix it at my end but if they are not even seeing the listings I am at a loss.

You only get a view if when someone who is scrolling down the page clicks on your item.

And with so many items, something has to attract a buyerto it.

Rather than blame ebay look to see why yours are not attracting buyers.

Seller has been successfully selling for FIFTEEN years.
It appears that his current experiences are far removed from his historical results, and therefore has reasonable grounds to suspect it AIN'T due to his listings or their presentation.

The seller is free to list item numbers.

But in my experience, one today even, all these supposed hidden listings, it seems I and quite a few responders seem to have no problem seeing them.

Just because you list it on ebay does not mean buyers are going to buy it or even click on it.

And most importantly ebay has changed a lot in 15 years with buyers searching on phones and glutted categories where it would be almost impossible to view every listing in that category.

I know the listing has to be clicked to view but if the listings are not able to be seen they cannot be clicked on.

[nawlinsron2]

does the phrase "sudden, unexplained pattern change" mean anything to you?

My tin foil hat is in the cleaners so forgive me for not assuming automatically that this is an ebay conspiracy.

Have not seen one yet posted here that has been a deliberate attempt by ebay to sabotage their own site.

True, but do we know what actually happened in this case?

OP post some item numbers so we can check this out further?

I'm not proud of it, but this has happened to me too.  I've had some 30 day listings not get any views lately.  The bots don't even want to look.  Sales are still good though--can't complain.

I found her ended listings WITHOUT item numbers...need some help?

[emerald40]

Before when I listed at the beginning of the month, my two or three listings would get sandwitched in between a drop shippers 10,000 listings.

And if a buyer is like me and has limited time, it is so easy to pass them by.

I too have had listings with not one view.

So are you just proving my point?

And smarty pants,  the ended listing under her name is right there.

I was obviously referring to items that she listed that we could not see.

Well, here's a little twist on the topic. last night my item had 60 page views - this morning there were none. I believe there is some kind of software problem at ebay. I mean, we're paying for this service and it is failing.

[laurabeardsley]

Well, one example is I tried to search for a sterling belt buckle I listed today and gave up by the time I got to page 20 yet the same seller from India had several on each page I viewed.Just frustrtaed as to to how to get my listings seen better.

Can you give me an item number please?
