Huh???

No watchers, no sale, in my experience !!

AND the more watchers the more energetic the bidding activity, in most cases, is also my experience.

Mind you, I have whined to ebay about the policy they adopted some few months ago of publishing the no. of watchers an item has on the item sales page for all to see, until the item receives its first bid.

Previously, it was information only the seller was privy to.

I somehow felt, it was information that potential buyers didn't need to know and that it would disadvantage the seller but I don't know for sure that it does.

What do others think?
