What's with the view change?!

[guppymup]

Where did all my views and sells go?! I have herd people say that they did away with all the bots but since they screwed up this view thing, I'm no longer getting any views OR selling anything. I've never had a problem selling my items here until they changed the view thing. I'm also not able to see any of my listings on Google. What gives?! This is how I have been making a living for the past 10 years or more and now I basically have no income. I'm sure whatever changes they made has to be hurting them as well.....

Search is a mess: so it is if they can not find your items: well of course they can not view it or watch it or purchasing it.

eBay does not seem to care.

Helps to read eBay's seller updates, usually issued twice a year--spring and fall. Information regarding views was announced in the 2022 Spring Seller Update:

The way eBay shows you the views on your listings would have absolutely no impact on your sales. If you're experiencing a downturn in your sales, which I'm not questioning, it is not because of the way eBay is displaying views.

Correlation does not imply causation.
