I have only been on eBid for about 6 weeks now. I almost didn't register as when I checked out the auctions, SOOOOOOOO many had 0 views--like NOTHING was happening at all on eBid. Then I noticed some very high views, and realized the viewers were not reliable, which really turned me off, as well.
So I listed my first auction, and clicked it on and saw "116,000 views". I listed another, and that one came up with over 300. I contacted eBid as I was REALLY confused as to why this would happen two times in a row, and they did manage to put them back to 0 on one and 12 on the other.
I just had another one showing over 8,000 and another over 2,000, so I just closed them out and relisted, as I would like to think that maybe sometime the correct views do show, and I would like to know if anyone was at all interested in what I post. I too, have seen the views go up and down randomly, as well. I really do feel that the fact that eBid must be totally aware of this problem, and that they won't fix it, doesn't say much for their desire to attract more sellers and buyers in order to have the site grow. I feel it is definately hurting eBid's credibility and their growth, as well as our sales, as I am finding sales to be few and far between.
It is VERY frustrating for a new seller especially to check their listings and sometimes see nothing but 0 views. I have seen comments here on the forum about that. Then on another day you might see 4 views, and the next day it is only 2. It is totally absurd, and I can't believe that this should be such a monumental problem to correct????
Perhaps if everytime we notice these errors and inconsistencies we contact customer service, maybe SOMEONE out there will FIX IT. PLEASE!!
