What’s difference between add to cart + add to watchlist.

They still don’t buy it after a long time.

Re: What’s difference between add to cart + add to watchlist.

I tend to leave things in carts. Sorry. 😟

Re: What’s difference between add to cart + add to watchlist.

In your screenshot are you referring to the little red banner where it says “in 3 carts”? If so, as I mentioned earlier, sometimes that area displays how many I sold in 24 hours.

Where can I find how many carts is this listing in?

I see it next to the upper left of the gallery photo when I click into the listing.

This is the screenshot of the top part of the gallery photo of my listing. It states “5 sold in the last 24 hours” on the upper left area. Is there another place I can check for it since eBay is obviously replacing the number of carts with my units sold for this listing?

Sorry, that I don't know as I don't do these types of listings - I've only seen the number in people's carts there. I wonder if that is default replaced by the number of items sold? It's supposed to goad people into hurrying up and purchasing, so may be the number sold serves the same purpose?

Re: What’s difference between add to cart + add to watchlist.

in cart  and no buy = the potential buyer changed their mind - happens often at most any B& M store too

 

In watch list and no buy = the shopper found a better deal or didn't have funds to buy and didn't  want to share that with you or had no intention to buy or they were  just "window shopping - used to do that when I was shopping or  even selling.  Periodically  would  clean up those  expectations at my leisure.

 

There  is no doubt  other  reasons - often wonder why people will throw trash - food bag,  beer cans, whiskey bottles out the car window on  the road or on the street in a neighborhood or parking  lot, etc

Yea I'm sure that's the purpose. Like I wouldn't be surprised if it gets replaced by "LAST ONE LEFT" for listings with just 1 quantity left. I was just wondering where I can consistently see the number of carts for these listings.

Re: What’s difference between add to cart + add to watchlist.

   Hmmm.  I only buy here on eBay and I don't remember ever using the cart.  I put things on my watchlist to sort of bookmark them and usually decide within a short period of time and hit "Buy It Now" or "Delete".  Sometimes to compare between sellers for the same item or see if I'll get an offer.

   On auctions I prefer to bookmark the page on my browser as to not advertise my interest.

   Either way items don't remain there for a long time.  Of course I'm one of those wierd people that checks my Email every day and deletes spam, trash etc..................................

Neither you nor eBay has any way to know or to control whether a buyer will be "annoyed" by a particular offer 

 

if an item is only in their cart and not on their watchlist. Is this true?

Having an item is your their cart for more than 2 days is one of the ways eBay determines ansd definitions of an "interested buyer"
