So i listed some stuff yesterday, and there has only been 6 views on 5 items in a day. Has anyone else noticed a dip in views of ebay listings? I contacted ebay and they said I should upgrade my listings, and I asked why there are no viewers (the views came from me). They have no explanation.

What are you selling and what is your screen name there?
You may be right, I just bought a hundred dollar values of coins for 52 bucks 😀

24 hours may not be very long, especially if you are selling something specialist, or dare I say it...something undesirable!

Some people never "view" by clicking on the items. When you search for items you get a picture and brief description together with current price etc.

Many people search last minute and as such this will not necessarily translate into views if they don't actually click on your auction because the pirce is too high.

To see if your listings are working well, try searching for your items using certain key words relating the the item and its description to see how many other items are brought up using these key words, to get an idea of the "competition". Obviously the more items that are listed the less likely it is that your items will stand out and be viewed.
