What in the world is this?

Anybody else happen to check their Page Views lately?

Incedently, this is coinciding with a significant drop in sales the last few days. Yet, complete silence on the system status board.

It appears we're looking at fairly steady page views, with an unusually high spike today on external page views. One of your listings might have been linked on social media causing that unusual spike.

Yeah, but wouldn't I see that bump on one of my items? Because, there is nothing showing that many views.

Would this have anything to do with the another platform that begins with a "B" that I just opened last week?

When you scroll down to where there's a list of items below all those stats - you don't see an item with a high number of page views, correct?

And when you sort your active listings page by the views column, you see nothing to that degree of page views, correct?

I'd check again Tues and Wed to see what it looks like. I'm not seeing any kind of weird spike on my stats today on any of my accounts.

I don't see what listing on Bonanza would have to do with it.

Just a guess....maybe there's some lag time between the numbers showing on the graph and the numbers showing for individual listings. (which may be updated only so often).

I'd also agree that the spike is most likely due to a social media post. Either one of your old listings was recently "discovered" by someone, or maybe one of your newest listings?

Periodically one of my items is featured on a blog and the views go straight up. I believe there's a lag between external views and it recording on the item views.

I sold all three of an item I'd had sitting around for a while within the last three days and I can only assume it was for that reason.

I have been seeing my items on Instagram ads lately over the past few weeks.
