Manage ended listings page no longer showing views?

[anysuch]

Hello,

I noticed today the manage ended listings page is no longer showing the Views column. Even when I go into the customize views page the Views column doesn't show. 

This is a different issue than the views column showing 0. The column is gone completely. 

Can anyone confirm this?

Same here. I went back to the app to see the numbers for the time being.

It's also missing on the Unsold page, and it was there last night!

brian@ebay  please get this reported and the code change rolled back ASAP, having this information is critical in determining how we might alter prices.

Thank you for the confirmation. Thought I was going nuts. 🙂

Right, having the traffic page in other areas where I can dig out certain indicators on an item is pleasant but I need them right in front of my face on the unsold page so I can make static decisions on the unsold items page. Views was definitely one of those columns. I can't jump back and forth between another page. Those indicators need to be upfront and present in the area in which it is unsold.

Hi @dtexley3, I received confirmation that this is an intended change. View counts will only be visible on the Active page going forward. With that said, I have passed the feedback in this thread over to the relevant team for consideration.

brian@ebay  Why do your software BA teams constantly remove useful information from sellers?  If eBay really wants us to be succesful STOP TAKING AWAY INFORMATION!!!!!!!

[berserkerplanet]

>>View counts will only be visible on the Active page going forward

Why? What possible reason would eBay have for thinking that info isn't useful to sellers or want to hide it from sellers?

[o-kushon]

View count on the Unsold Item Page is pretty much the ONLY vital piece of data on that page.

Without that data, the page is useless.

Why Indeed? It is such a small thing that it couldn't possibly be negatively effecting anything and it is, as mentioned, really the only usefull info from that page. Watchers is as well but views is definitely the most important. So this being a planned change vs glitch means only 1 thing. Ebay is removing it as they don't want us easily seeing the view counts for some reason. There is no other possibility.

The real question then becomes, what is that reason?

Add me to the objectors...........  We had views since I've been here-2004 and it really is a helpful tool in trying to decide whether to relist on the unsold page...... Why the heck would anyone think otherwise?

You show the page views on this page

https://www.ebay.com/sh/prf/traffic?sort=-listing_impressions&limit=50&offset=0

is this a team territorial dispute?

[malnycmax]

I agree that having a View column is extremely important.

This is how we base our decisions on whether to relist the item.

Does anyone know whether it is possible to escalate this great concern to someone higher up at eBay ? A regular customer service rep would not be able to resolve this.

brian@ebay

I reiterate...why?

What earthly logical reason is there for removing that column?

[pyrabluestudios]

brian.t@ebay PLEASE add me to the list of WHY would you take this away people!

If you can keep this column in the active page WHY can't it be kept in the ended page?

We use it to decide what to relist, what to possiblly make price changes on, etc.

If I don't have the time to get a screen shot of the upcoming daily ending listings I NOW get to individually click EACH listing to see how many hits an item had to make that decision.

SUCH FUN.

I then get to KEEP all those screen shots and decide what to list/secondary things after the first round.  With this happending daily THIS JUST ISN'T WORKING FOR ME.

UGH.

I'm getting seriously tired of trying to find workarounds for everything that happens here.

That's a whole other post....
