FAQs

Promoted Listing getting 0 views? ›

You're a new seller, no selling feedback and some buyers are a little leery of new sellers. If there are no views, just means no one has looked at the listing yet. Just because it's being promoted, it doesn't mean all buyers will see the listings.

If your eBay listings are getting no views, one of the primary reasons might be SEO compliance. As an e-commerce seller, you might be familiar with Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Unless you post your listing with eBay's SEO in mind, it will be very difficult to have your listing on top of the search results.

If it is not being viewed there are three reasons. (1) No one wants it, (2) Your in a category that has 10,000 or more listings and no one wants to search that far to see yours, or (3) Your prices are higher than other sellers.

You can add a "Watch this item" link to show up right on the page of Search results, so you can add an item to your Watch list without opening the listing itself.

Write clearly: use meaningful, related sentences to make your listing easy to read. Don't just list keywords separated by commas — integrate them naturally into your text. Don't add too many keywords — spamming can lead to filtering from search engines.

Bot traffic is non-human traffic to websites and apps generated by automated software programs, or "bots," rather than by human users. Bot traffic isn't valuable traffic, but it's common to see it. Search engine crawlers (also referred to as “spiders”) may visit your site on a regular basis, for example.

Ebay now sets views and watchers every 30 days.

Full Member. 4-5 views for a run of the mill item. For the niche I would say 15-30. Although I do not think that views is a very good determinate for an item selling.

Are watchers on eBay a good thing? ›

"Watchers" are potential buyers who have no intention of paying. They aim to sabotage your ability to sell your item at a time when other sellers might be offering the same item. When these folks buy your item but do not pay -- for 72 hours for example -- that is 72 hours where your listing is no longer competitive.

Sellers cannot identify who is viewing their items, but eBay gives sellers the opportunity to send offers without knowing who the offer is going to. If the buyer takes advantage of the offer, then the seller finds out identifying information.

A view is when someone opens you listing. A watcher is when someone who has flagged your item to be added to his Watch List. The view count contains only views within the last 30 days. An item can be watched indefinitely.

In my opinion, there is no benefit to a seller who has only 32 items listed to have an Ebay store. It is unlikely to justify efforts on your part to drive traffic from elsewhere in the Internet. Your free listings are more than adequate without a store. Spend the money you would spend on a store for more inventory.

Thus, yes, if you are not getting many views, no matter what you are doing, ebay is throttling (cap) your view count at a certain number a day, a month. However, sellers you may want to do this to get views? Open a bing ad account, and place your own ads on the second biggest serach engine in the world.

If your limit is currently zero, that is an indication that your account is not currently set up to sell anything, and you should probably contact eBay directly to see what information is missing from your account. Have you signed up for Managed Payments and linked a checking account?
