    Default Watch List Counter

    Hiya,

    Would it be possible to have a watch list counter on our auctions? It would only be possible for the seller to see on their own auctions. I know that yahoo used to have this, and I think it would be a valuable tool so that sellers could judge the *extra* amount of interest shown.

    good idea...

    we could have "number of people watching this item" with the amount

    the amount could be clickable to a list of users watching it...

    another one for the to do list!

    would it be possible to set up so that only the seller sees their own stats on their own listings? It might put people off if they thought loads of other people could see what items they were watching... ops: :lol:

    here here !! seems like a good idea.....for the seller to see how many peeps/buyers have shown interest and have added an item to their WATCH list!

    but as was mentioned above earlier.....it might put people off from bidding, then we could say surely if they want it...then they should bid on it!!! to what they think is worthwhile and also it will give both eBid and the seller alike an idea of what an items response levels are

    keep up the good work

    Cheers Mark for the chat on the phone...i finally got in here...and it was as always...the simple formula...!!

    Yes - only the seller of the auction being watched could see the watch list stats - not the names!

    Someone on eBay has written a script for "watch list counts" (a service that eBay themsleves don't provide - AND it's free!) which clocks up when someone clicks the watch this item link - it only works on eBay, but it's great to see how many people are watching that item that has had LOADS of hits (via the counter) but no bids!

    gazza,

    i've been asked a few times to add 'who is watching' to my system, but on the whole buyers would be freaked out at the thought of a seller knowing that they were watching. so while eBays new layout makes it easy to gather 'who' (if logged in) i'm sidestpping that issue.

    the thought of being spammed by a seller during/after an auction sends shivers down my spine !
