What does "1 people have this in their cart" mean?

[fastkc]

Today is the first time I have seen this on one of my listings. I chatted with Ebay and they said it was a new feature but not sure what it means (besides the obvious). Do buyers typically add items to their cart before hitting the BIN key? I had thought about lowering price and sending an offer to my one watcher but wondering if I should just wait now. Curious as to any of your experiences. Thanks.

Welp, you were RIGHT!  See message #13.  
Cool beans.  Glad to see eBay pressuring buyers instead of sellers for a change, lol.  

[fastkc]

Gotcha. Thanks.

I haven't seen that one yet.

I just saw it on one of my listings today, for the first time.

Actually I think that's only in the seller view, isn't it?

Oh! Okay, thanks...

Minor nit: that red message in one of my own listings reads, "1 people [sic] have this in their cart." C'mon, guys, it's not that hard to code a message using proper English.

Reverb(musical instruments reselling site) has been using that for years. I always believed it was a lie to get people to buy quicker. Says something like "12 people have this in their cart and expected to sell soon." 2 weeks later it's still there. Lol.

It looks like eBay has updated the wording in the bubble when only 1 person has the item in their cart

How do I 'check my revisions' - Have an active listing that we had previously lowered the price of, opened to 'revise your...' and can find nothing about checking revisions. Also nothing on the seller hub - active listing page.

Yes! I went back to that listing where I first saw it and it is indeed now showing the corrected wording. Will wonders never cease... 😉

Should be followed buy an email from eBay stating "You forgot something in your cart"

If you want to check the revisions made to your listing, open the the listing from you active listings page by clicking on the title, then scroll down a bit to find the View all revisions hyperlink and click on it.

Most likely it is a lead into a new eBay feature where you can send offers to those who have your items in their cart, another venue I know of has that feature.    Just keep in mind most things you do like sending offers, offering discounts, using Promotions, etc simply drive the price down and ultimately your profit.  If your BIN prices are the lowest you can sell at and meet your profit margin then you simple have to wait for people to buy.

means a buyer has an item in their cart.
