11 Watching??

[clubesquire]

....is showing on just one of our listings at the moment. Just one.

I’ve never seen this, ever, on any listing of ours.

Anyone??

@Kopes....

I should have posted a link. I’ve just taken it down to convert to a private listing.

Kopes, it was showing ‘11 watchers’  in orange, on the actual listing page, up near the price. Honest, I wasn’t seeing things. It was well before wine o’clock .... lol. But as I said before, obviously a glitch.

But, I think it’s a good feature, if only it hadn’t been abused by some who walk among us.

Might not be a glitch rather an experiment by ebay,irrelevant to this thread but I'm now stuck with the wording Time left on everything instead of the actual time showing and I really hate it,I'm now paranoid that ebay are just trying to mess with my mind and hope that I leave once and for all lol.

Unfortunately you have seen it as a negative instead of a positive as it allows buyers to see  there is interest in the item and there are a number of people watching. As a buyer you do not really know if many people are interested in an item so you may just stick it in your watch list not knowing you are  not the only one and at anytime others may pull the trigger and purchase and for one off items you end up missing out.

Of course not every item has watchers and get constant sales but I find this is more for needs instead of wants.

I have had many listings with a number of watchers but only 2-3 left in stock and you will find after one sells the rest will go over the next few days followed by a message if you have any left. Showing the number of watchers would have created a sense of urgency just like a crowd at myers going through the clearance rack.

This is my take on the feature but I may be wrong.

No, not a negative at all. As I said before, “But, I think it’s a good feature, if only it hadn’t been abused by some who walk among us”.

I remember when it was active and I was of the opinion it caused good results. But, as always there are those who would rort the system, and instead of eBay appropriately dealing with just the rorters, we all paid the price. Isnt it mostly always the way?

No, I like it 🙂
