629 views

Hi there everyone. At the moment I have about 20 items on e-bay and virtually everyday I go on to have a look at whether there are any bids and also how many people have viewed the item. Anyway, I have a Winnie The Pooh cuddly toy on their and I have had 629 views in two days!! Has the counter stopped working as I have never had this before? Also, with all those views I have got absolutely NO watchers and NO bids. What is up with this?? :confused:

Thanks

  • It could be that a forum has posted the link to your item for some reason.

    Why do you think that is then? I've checked it again and there's nothing stupid I've written!

    Could be disney forum or a Pooh fan club or something ....as you say there is nothing daft in the text, nothing dubious in the photo. At least nothing that I can see!!!

    It is a nice unusual Pooh item (at least I haven't seen anything like it, not that I have been looking!)

    Check other items to see if they have similar hits?

    Also, remember one of the best ways to increase you hits to is to have many items listed, all with differnt end dates.. therefore youll get waves of hits as your other items end and people check out your other items.

    Thats the best way to get early interest on an item, and a consistant level of interested throughout the auction.

    I think thats probably the single most important factor in why my items sell well.
