Sellers- what is your page views??

[stainlessenginecovers]

Would like to know your Views and how many items you have listed as shown on Seller Hub (Not the "impressions')

I have about 9000 (past 30 days) and 600 listings, so that is an average of:

300 views a day- 50% of my listings count

Why do you want that?

Views vary with the merchandise you have listed and the demand for it. Your result points to low demand items or items with too much competition for the amount of demand.

If you are operating on a long tail strategy of low sales volume and high margin, it is well within the expected range. If you are operating on a mass market strategy seeking high sales at short margin, it is a big warning that you are not going to meet your goals.

I operate on a long tail strategy and it is not much different from my results. But I have more than 600 listings.

I want to know because I am simply curious- doesn't matter what you sell, just total listings vs. views. 

[dbfolks166mt]

     No clue. I have a customized table for my listings and views is one of the things I do not display or watch. It holds no value for me. 

[marvinbrowns]

Dang that is a ton of views.  Just depends on what you are selling.   Are you asking because you want to see if you should sell more or something
?

Views on their own are somewhat meaningless on their own, what is the Conversion Rate? That is the number that really matters.

April and May were very slow for me, my Views were only down slightly but my Conversion Rate was in the tank (for me) at 2% or less. June was a great month for me, views did not increase by much at all but my Conversion rate was back to "normal", between 7 and 8%.

All of those Traffic numbers eBay provides are on their own are not that meaningful, you need to consider multiple factors like Impressions and click-thru or Views and Conversion.

Unfortunately eBay doesn't provide enough data to really analyze and then make appropriate changes.

The numbers I mentioned above indicate to me that in April/May I was getting reasonable Views which means buyers were interested enough to click but short on money to actually hit the buy button.

In my case the vast majority of my sales are from a relatively small number of multi-quantity listings which have been listed continuously for years. A seller of all single item listings will have a more difficult time pinning down the reasons why their conversion rate is going up or down.

Ok don't laugh at me.

I don't concern myself with views.

About 350 items listed.  How do I get that stat?

I would be happy to share that with you...

On Sellers hub you've eliminated the box that says TRAFFIC and is NOT something you can 'eliminate'. 

I am only curious to see what others are seeing. I should have also asked

WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE (compared to last month)

[meekamaye]

It only takes one view to sell an item to the person that wants it. That's the only view I am interested in. I don't really take note of views. It can be someone with another one to sell looking at my price, description and shipping, it can be an accidental hit on the enter key, it can be a person you know, that doesn't buy but wants to know what you are selling. Every view does not mean someone wants it or is ready to buy the item. It is simply a random person clicking on items that catch their fancy. I want the one view from the buyer. That is all that is important to me.

@slippinjimmy 

Not really- 'views' means people are CLICKING on your listing.

This tells you:

Are you being seen?

Is your title or keywords effective to getting people to see your listing?

Are your pictures and title effective in getting potential buyers to actually 'click' on your listing?

Are your 'promotions' working (as this VIEWS shows 3 VERY IMPORTANT things; On Ebay, OUTSIDE of Ebay,  Promotions (per day).

It's a VERY telling stat, if accurate (which is why I was asking).

@inhawaii In your 'seller hub'; one of the boxes is TRAFFIC- it shows the following in a monthly 'graph' as well as a number and a 'percentage' (higher or lower) compared to last month)

1.) IMPRESSIONS (which are worthless)

VIEWS (which tell you if people are seeing and interested enough to actually 'click' on your listing; also tells you if Promos are working (shows a graph as well as numbers)

SOLD- who cares? We ALL already know that number...

Looks like this:

June 6th to July 6th

5,488 views

About 350 items listed.

Good, average or bad?

I'm not figuring on being able to tell anyone if it's good or bad or not...as stated by another, everyone's 'stuff' is different; but just getting your numbers help to see the Big Picture.

5488 views for the month is about 182 a day, with 350 items- that is about 50%; 

so far (with only 2 of us giving the info), we are both in that range.

I have not done a very good job listing this month so a lot of My Views and impressions are down I guess. My sales seem normal though.

How about listings vs. followers?

350 listings.  360 followers.
