    Red face Watchers & best offers

    i would like to be able to see if i have any people watching my items at the moment i can only tell how many views my item has had unless im doing something wrong, i find it beneficial to know if i have watchers, if i cant attract any watchers it lets me know maybe i need to revise my listing with better key words or maybe i need to reduce the price,

    BEST OFFERS would be a really good idea i know you can just say well put the price that you want want but thats not the point, i might have gone on a spending spree and want to sell a few items quick so would be more likely to accept some offers to move some stock on and the buyer then gets a really good price, its also psychological even if the buyer was willing to pay your asking price they are always going to feel a lot better about making a offer and getting a bit of discount they feel they have had a much better deal i know i do when i buy,

    i can understand the site probably does want to do this as they want as many auction style listings running but the truth is they aren't really running any true no reserve auction as every body just starts the auction at the price they want, so i cant see why this option would be so bad to have, for me sales are more important than what type of listing it is and i would think the site should be thinking the same way i am more than happy to pay 2% final value fee so the more sales the more the site will make in revenue

    i think these are basic options which every site should have, and would think most sellers would like as well

    any sellers out there after the same thing and does any body know if theres any plans to have these basic options

    When I first joined ebay I found it very hard to find the number of watchers, they seemed to hide it away.

    I agree showing watchers and bids would be great.
    There are many threads and suggestions on this.

    We've never had a watchers view.

    We have always had a views count (which isn't always reliable).

    Bids are difficult to find for newbies, eBid do kinda hide them a bit. You can only see the bids on each auction listing page right at the very bottom of the page.

    Site will stand still, till there is a Bid Column and it is Publicized.. folks made aware of it and it is new.
    Bid Column should be viewable when scrolling all pages on eBid.
    When in effect after 3 Months.. all will see the increased activity here
