View's Counter Worse than Normal

So I was scrolling through my listings, doing my end of the month "clean up" where I adjust titles, prices etc...  When I noticed a few items with 0 views.  No views to me means I need to adjust something in the title or price, maybe add some more details.  So I start going through these 0 view listings and start to see watchers on some of them... Okay, not really out of the norm, we all know the views counter has been bugged for years... But then I see one of my items with 0 views...  13 watchers, and 44 bids...  Really?

Can eBay at least throw sellers a few small bones?  Lots of big updates, but something simple like a view counter can't get fixed?

Re: View's Counter Worse than Normal

I am afraid the fixes for the "small stuff" is being tossed aside. Just the norm, sellers have no auto 5 stars for communication and free shipping, the detailed seller ratings reports have disapeared, buyers who never sold an item now have ratings showing up on their feedback pages, some of my BIN's had an auto reject for low price on best offer and then eBay changed it to allow all bids to come through mid stream while the listing was live. The watch counts have never been this flakey. There are a lot more glitches that I have read on various boards that are still not fixed, too many to list here....

 

With all the new changes coming in for the Spring seller update, I am not feeling comfortable that any "small stuff" will be fixed, let alone how they are going to implement everything they want to change when you can't fix what is already broken.

That is true. I listed SEVERAL items last evening. This morning I see 0's on ALL of the items I listed. I don't even know what to think. Pretty sure eBay wants to get rid of small sellers. Wish they would just come out and tell us, then we can actually find another viable format.

View's Counter Worse than Normal- op - unquote -------------------------------

 

It's just weird , the whole thing . I have over 100 listings , there was  one that was up for 30 days showing only one view in the entire time . That has never happened . Now I have items with over 100 views and multiple watchers but not a single sale on any of them day after day , week after week.  One item had 6 watchers for weeks and then auto listed after 30 days because  of no sale . Now nobody is interested in it ,, it just fell over the cliff and died . I'm wondering if all the e bay gliches have something to do with  all the no sales ? Something is dreadfully wrong somewhere . Tulips

You can add site wide glitch now, looks like everyone with free listings that they have left in February are being charged 30 cents each, and a lot of sellers now have stores activated, not 1, but multiples.

you may want to check your promotional offers page and see if you have store subscriptions activated. I have all 3 lol

Re: View's Counter Worse than Normal

Guess I'm lucky.

I was scrambling up until 11:22pm on 2/28 relisting things I'd been ignoring and was not charged 30¢ for any of them (came out of the monthly 50).

Also not seeing any problems with views or watchers on my Active Selling page (I don't use seller hub if that's where that problem is appearing)
