Views

Anyone else experiencing a dramatic drop in views on their items?

They stopped counting views that weren't from real people a few weeks ago, various search engines and ebay tools had previously been triggering as views, but those views weren't real people and couldn't buy anything but they would be the majority of views for many people and many items.

Some things that previously counted as views, such as the listing being crawled by a bot, no longer count. The count may now represent the last 30 days by default (but that can be changed). The changeover to the new way of counting may have prevented older views from before the transition from being counted correctly.

Some info about recent changes to the way views are displayed can be found here:

I just sold an item that had 0 views but 1 bidder. When I click on the 0 in the view column. Then it shows 2 views. Whats up with that?

It appears auctions get a lot of views....my 7day  auction today ending got me 90 views and 12 watchers.

Buyers prefer auctions and free shipping.  It all about what you are selling.

Same issue here. Both views and Sales have all gone south recently.

Yes!  It is like the faithful Mom and Pop sellers who have been on here the longest and just list 10-20 items are not getting the views?
