18 1/2 days - 100 views - 6 watchers - no offers - no emails - nothing but, silence. Lots of interest but, apparently, no interest. lol December better prove to be an awesome month here! Good luck to all. 🙂

People still watch television? With commercials?

Absolutely! I record most of what I watch but sometimes I still watch the commercials instead of fast forwarding through them and with being recorded I can always go back and watch it again if I like it.

Right now I'm really loving the car commercial where the guy gets 2 vehicles for Christmas giving .. one for himself and one for his wife ... he gets a SUV and a truck ... guess what, wife wants the truck! LOL. That would be me .. the girl who absolutely would choose the truck over the SUV.

I know a lot of people are dropping cable.

But I have a 15 inch monitor and in the living room a 50 inch TV.

We have a 50 inch flat screen as well and one big ole 36 inch heavy [ not the newer hang on the wall version] still sitting on our porch we can't even give away for free . The picture and sound are perfect ,, but nobody wants it . Tulips

No commericals , my hubby DVRS everything worth watching and is the fastest gun in the west with the remote fast forwarding . Tulips 🙂

Watchers just don't seem to translate into sales. When I want something, I don't watch it, I buy it. auctionpet

That's true from a sellers standpoint , watchers don't always mean a sale . However just speaking as a buyer I often put things on my watch list and then buy them when I get paid or make a sale . Just did this yesterday and now I'm nearly finished with Christmas shopping . 🙂 Tulips

You can just switch to another channel and then switch back. Hopefully the other channel won't have commercials on at the same time, though.

If its on the hour or half hour you can just about bank on it . 😞 I swear if I see one more '' Hi I'm Marie and I lost 50 pounds '' and I'm going to go crazy .. Tulips

Of course the remote isn't sewn on my hand like it is his ,, so when I'm watching TV alone I just suffer through . I might as well thrown the remote in the harbor ,, yeah theres the proof 😞 . Tulips

Watchers are unpredictable, so many are other sellers. I had several watcher on 2 nice Christmas bowls.

I did not have make an offer on them, so I added that. Bing, one sells pretty darned fast too.

Possible sales strategy or coincidence? Did one of the watchers race to nab it before someone made an offer?

I dunno 🙂

Hi Alan@eBay,
I have always used a red background to help my listings pop out. I heard that Google prefers solid white backgrounds and re-naming the image the item you are selling (example: Nikon 55-300mm Auto Focus Lens.jpg). Here is a listing I shot with white, eBay item 352531860750. Here is a listing with the red, eBay item 223262335181.
Like all the others who are experiencing decreased sales this year I am trying so hard to comply with the new search engine and algorithm. Thank you in advance for any tips.
Hi @jeweloftheheart,

I like your photos! I think they look really good. I'm not sure about the images with text though. Search engines probably don't like those. I haven't heard about renaming the image before, that could be a thing that Google prefers.

You'll find image guidelines on this Google help page: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324350?hl=en

Thanks.

Yes, It is google that likes that. That part I suggested did not come fron eBay itself.

I have dish and not one eBay commercial. Either that or they don’t run on A&E, movie channels and flea market flip.

Dear God, please help me to be
the person my dog thinks I am.

"And cox cable costs enough with out incurring more charges."

I have an antenna...glitchy at best and has lots of commercials but the mute button works just fine and I read the paper, or work on projects. Two minutes is a long time for me. I will never have cable again. Long story but we sued them and won. Lil off topic, sorry.

Me too, I have always had tons of things in my watch list and I wait for some money to come in, or I want it/them bad enough and go to the list to choose what to buy. It's a great reminder for me of things I have seen but wasn't sure about.

Watching "watchers" will drive a seller crazy and doesn't mean a sale will ever come. It may be fun when you have that oh so rare item, but the rest of the time I am learning to never sort by watchers and sort by ending soonest just to keep tabs on what will need to be relisted when. Half the watchers are other sellers, half are curiosity, another half (wait, three halves?) alright another third are potential buyers. Watching watchers is hope, and hope is not a strategy.
