Relatively New Seller... Algorithms???

[viniadf]

1. is there a way that I can see how many people visited an item page on a particular day (instead of seeing my statistics over a period of time)?  This would tell me how many views the page is getting in a day.  It seems like some days I sell a lot, to a lot of different buyers, then other days I don't have a single sale.  I didn't change anything.  I'm thinking there is some type of algorithm that I may need to adjust to.

when you figure it out let us all know,  E bay is up/down/sideways/zigzag/upside down all the time.

they best advice anyone can give you is to NEVER list something you cannot afford to lose the funds and the item on.

This gives you total view per day ...........the graph.......

But I would be careful expecting some sort of pattern........  Retail is always uncertain.  Brick and mortar owners will always say if they schedule more employees for Tues because sales have been great on that day......the traffic will change to Mon/Wed, etc.

Do you really think each and every day you should look to see who's visited your store? In a perfect world there is no business out there that has a constant input of visitors. You will worry yourself sick watching that stuff.

There is a graph you can use as well as just look at 'views' on a daily basis, record them and do the math (the hard way, but if you only have a few items...). 

I do this periodically for about 12 of my 400 items just to 'see' what's happening. 

I know that the half the country has been dealing with weather for the past few months, on a weekly basis, and that causes slowing of selling, not to mention the economy.

Daily sales on Ebay are highly variable.  I only bother to look at 60 or 90 day sales data to notice any trends.

As for algorithms, I doubt that there is any one person at Ebay who understands them completely.  Ebay also use AI (neural networks), very different from algorithms, which can sometimes come up with patterns that implement outputs that nobody fully understands.
