The Bagley vase example that you make isn't particularly unusual....there have been plenty items that i've listed over hare and i still have listed that would sell pretty quickly if listed elsewhere, but they stubbornly sit doing nothing on Ebid...despite the high view figures in many cases....although its been suggested that the viewing figures are the result of Google bots scanning these rather than real people showing an interest....hence...the lack of sales activity, after all, real people have a habit of making a purchase while a piece of software is hardly to do likewise.
I believe that your lack of views is totally unrelated to your lack of feedback....but instead is the result of Ebid in general not attracting enough potential viewers...potential new buyers....i think that not enough are still aware theat this site actually exists.
Feedback is rarely left on Ebid and it leaves new viewers with the impression that not too much goes on over here. With that said i regularly and happily make purchases from companies own websites and these never....at least as far as i can see, feature any form of buyer feedback...and this never concerns me...so....is the subject of feedback in reality a none issue?.
The buyers that i attract on Ebid are nearly always very newly registered users...mostly registered within a minute or two of making their purchase and if i was concerned about these buyers having no feedback then i'd have to call it a day over here, yet this doesn't concern me at all.
