Watchers counter on listings

[bohobaggy]

Hi,

Some listings have a watchers counter but others don't. Is this by choice when listing or is it automatic for some listings? If by choice, how do you apply it to your listings when selling? What are the pros & cons of using the watchers counter? 

Cheers!

You can see the number of watchers on But It Now listings but not Auctions.  If the auction has a Buy It Now as well you will see the nember of watchers too.

There has to be at least one watcher.  Otherwise it doesn't say anything

If they did that I would never watch anything on ebay again.... would miss all those auctions.... I'm sure others would agree that being anonymous is important.... not good for sellers.

Once an auction has a bid, you can see how many others are watching it from here. It doesn't show anything if there are no bids. You can't see who they are, only the amount.
