Perennial watchers! Hit the button already!!!!

[retailtherapist_8]

I have decided to call May ..'WATCHERS MONTH"......Lets hope June is full of button pushers..lol

Anyone else with lots of watchers and very few sales? I need someone to make me feel better ...:_|

Does anyone remember that seller we came across selling furniture? Claimed in her TOS that anyone watching the items would be reported to ebay if they watched without bidding..

I doubt that even a hacker can reveal the IDs of watchers - that seller is an idiot !

patchoo78, please read my post #36. I have NOT stated I don't like watchers. Good grief.

Im a buyer and have a watch list of about 15 items--it changes.

I watch a few items of collectables -that i have  to see if they sell.

Because of the type of books i collect-the sellers have a limited market.

A couple of sellers know im the only watcher.

After months of relisting they drop the price to a realistic one and i

purchase straight away.................................Richo.

Silly woman. Perhaps if she threatened to sue them instead, she might of had better luck!

As a seller, though, I did get annoyed by seeing the watch count. Since it's been removed, it's alot more peaceful when viewing how the listings are going.

Sorry, WHAT? What did I miss since I stopped selling a fortnight ago?

Is that true? Seller's can no longer see who is watching their items?  (I know, I know, probably got an email about it but didn't read it).

Doný worry, the Watch list hasn't been removed. I just meant that I removed it from displaying in Selling Manager.

Thanks zenremix, that's a relief. Coz I like watching my watcher list!  Good to know you can remove it from displaying though. 🙂

As the old ebay wisdom goes:  ' If it doesn't apply to you, then it doesn't concern you '

Right ?

And that for some reason has brought Shakespeare to mind with his ' Protesteth too  much'

As to hitting the button already  --- nope.  Don't think so.  Of the few items I bother to put on Watch these days ---- seems a mysterious someone is bidding it up desperately.  Now who could that be ?  Surely not the seller's sock-puppet ?   But then, could it be a genuine, experienced ebayer with several hundred transactions to their name?  Someone so experienced wouldn't keep topping up the bid several days in a row -- would they ?  I mean, why wouldn't they wait until close to end-time ?  Same would apply to that dogged and very experienced supposed 'opposition' bidder who keeps responding with bids of their own -- again for days in a row

So I'm just sitting back watching them play the game.  Hope the seller wins her own item back from herself.  Think of all the money she'll save in postage  😄
