Is there a way to add the Viewer numbers back onto Unsold items?

I always have a look at how many views an item has had when I'm relisting unsold items. Recently I've noticed that EBay has removed this choice and it can't even be added under Customise. I wonder why they've done that as it's a very useful feature to know if it's worth relisting items which don't get many viewers. I do wish they would stop making stupid changes. :(


Can anyone help with how to add this feature again? I really missed it when relisting unsold items tonight as I always look at the figure before relisting to see if an item is even worth relisting. I'd be very grateful for any help. :)

    I had also tried that the other day. Why on earth would they remove something like that. You'd think they would let sellers decide how to customise their pages. Must be new employees trying to impress!! They are making various changes that they don't have to make. It's plain crazy! Thanks for replying. :)

    I was on a forum yesterday and someone asked the same question. An ebay mod said it is a change done recently. No-one knows why and a lot of sellers are unhappy as they used this feature a lot. The cynic in me thinks ebay dont want you seeing that viewing figures are dropping. There is a workaround in that you can see it on a different screen so you have to write down those figures then move to the unsold screen and use your notes. I'll have to search around as i cant remember what the workaround is exactly
