OUT OF 25 "WATCHERS" ONLY 9 OFFERS WERE SENT OUT. I HAVE 25 "PEOPLE" WHOM I ASSUME THAT ARE WATCHING ONE OF MY ITEMS, SO I SENT OUT 25 OFFERS, CLOSED THE SCREEN, WENT BACK INTO THE LISTING AND AT THE TOP WERE IT TELLS YOU HOW MANY YOU HAVE ALREADY SOLD, WILL ALSO BE HOW MANY OFFER'S YOU SENT OUT. SOME HAVE EVEN SUGGESTED TO END THE ITEM AND RELIST IT. THE IDEA IS THAT YOU SEND OFFER'S, LIKE GOING FISHING, SEE WHAT YOU "CATCH."Ĥ. BUYER'S CAN "BLOCK" SELLER'S FROM SENDING OFFERS." SO IF THAT'S TRUE, THEN IT COULD BE THAT SOMEONE IS WATCHING YOUR ITEM.ģ. ACCORDING TO A FEW PEOPLE, EBAY DOES HAVE BOTS THAT WATCH ITEMS, AND THAT "THEY" (WHOA MIB MAYBE) ARE AWARE OF IT AND IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A DECADE OR MORE.Ģ. The potential reasons to watch an item are nearly infinite.I HAVE SOME ITEMS WITH A LOT OF "WATCHERS", SO I'M THINKING, WHY THE HELL AREN'T THEY BUYING? SO, I GOOGLED THE SAME, AND CAME UPON A STRING OF COMMENTS WITH AN INTERESTING WAY TO CHECK AND SEE IF THIS IS A MYTH OR A REAL PERSON OR AN EBAY BOT.ġ. In some cases, I may find an item I want to purchase, but the seller may not ship to my location, or may be asking too much for shipping I may check back periodically to see if the seller has changed the terms of shipping, or to remind myself to search for a substitute that can be shipped to my location at a more reasonable cost. Some items I do not intend to purchase, I just want to keep track of for amusement, like the $300 item entitled "Time Machine (works)" a listing may have a funny typo or a particularly bad picture I may suspect an account is hijacked or fraudulent and I am waiting to see if the seller receives any feedback or is removed by eBay. Some items may be similar to other items I already have, but I am curious to see if the seller lists any other new items like it, and watching one item is a good way to keep track of a seller rather than using up one of only a hundred available Saved Seller spots. I may check the feedback the seller receives to see if the item appears to be a good deal that lives up to its description, or to check if a better alternative becomes available in the mean time. Some are items that I am considering, but have not decided which one to purchase yet. Some items are part of a set of items for an entire project, and I may be waiting until all the parts are available before buying them all at once. Some of those items are spare parts or replacements for things I have that I may need to purchase in the future, but do not need to keep on hand now I spent some time finding the items so that if the need arises I can quickly scan my list and make a purchase, if it becomes necessary, rather than looking up a part number or figuring out which substitutes will work for my application when I am in a hurry. That many?Ĭurrently I am watching over a thousand items on a dozen different lists. I GUESS I'LL NEVER but I've read where folks have a bunch of stuff on their watch list, like more than a hundred. I UNDERSTAND THAT LEGIT BUYERS WHO ARE ACTUALLY WATCHING DON'T WANT TO BE BOMBARDED WITH OFFER JUNK MAIL, BUT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS, NOW THAT I AM EXTREMELY ANNOYED, IS A "BOT" GOING TO READ THIS MESSAGE?! SO, WHAT ARE WE AS SELLER'S USING THIS PLATFORM AND SPENDING MONEY FOR? WHY PAY TO "PROMOTE" ITEMS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE WATCHED BY PEOPLE, ONLY BY BOTS? ARE WE "PROMOTING TO BOTS?" I THINK EBAY SHOULD NOT CHARGE SELLERS ANYTHING TO PROMOTE UNLESS YOU FIX THIS BOT ISSUE. I HAVE SOME ITEMS WITH A LOT OF "WATCHERS", SO I'M THINKING, WHY THE HELL AREN'T THEY BUYING? SO, I GOOGLED THE SAME, AND CAME UPON A STRING OF COMMENTS WITH AN INTERESTING WAY TO CHECK AND SEE IF THIS IS A MYTH OR A REAL PERSON OR AN EBAY BOT.ġ.
