I do not recall being able to see this before
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

Were we always able to see the number of views a listing has even when we are looking at another seller’s listing?

I know I’ve always been able to see this at the top of my listings… if the listing got a view (s) but I do not recall being able to see this while in another seller’s listing.

Bonanza must feel this benefits the seller in some way…I’m just trying to think of how. It’s hard to think outside of my box as a shopper rather than a seller sometimes.

Thanks,

Sharon

I don recall being able to see views on other sellers items. And, this is not helpful info for potential buyers to see in my opinion. Most of those views are not real people if a seller promotes on social media. A high number of views with no sale makes it look like something is wrong with the item.

I’m seeing the number of views on this listing of yours [URL removed]

Right now I see that it has 146 views…but that will soon change since your link has been posting here and more than likely people will check it out.

I like buyers to be able to see the # of watchers. I had an item last week that I got a lowball offer on (ebay) & told the buyer I don’t end items to sell cheaper when this item had watchers. 2 minutes later she purchased the item before 1 of the watchers might grab it.

kattinsanity says: February 10, 2019

I think if buyers can see the # of watchers they might just buy it now instead of adding it to their watch list. Later might be too late.

EmpressDepot says: February 10, 2019

It’s actually not watchers that I see on other people’s listings and instead the number of views (clicks) the listing has received. But I agree with you Kat. I would not mind it if a listing shows the number of watchers. I think it would be smart for this to show up.

I only see views on my own items…and product reviews on others if it exists..I do not see views on anyone else’s items

I’m gonna paste the link here in case the URL got cut off https://www.bonanza.com/listings/Dooney-Bourke-1975-Navy-and-White-Pouchette-Retired/[phone number removed]

EmpressDepot says: February 10, 2019

Guess it posted right the first time.

EmpressDepot says: February 10, 2019

I know how to take a screen shot but I do not know how to put it somewhere so that I can paste it in a post and then I do not know how to put the image in a post once I’ve been able to save the listing elsewhere or I would so that you all can see what I’m seeing.

ccmom says: February 10, 2019

I have an incomplete “listing” that is for screenshots only..I just upload the photos here in that listing, right click to “Copy image address” and then paste it here between the !!

ccmom says: February 10, 2019

That’s funny when I checked earlier I did not see it..but now that I used your link, I can see, but ONLY on that item..all the others I cannot see it..and do see yours either

ccmom says: February 10, 2019

Even logged out I see, but only that one item

ccmom says: February 10, 2019

and do see yours NOT either…I seem to keep dropping words when I am writing posts

EmpressDepot says: February 10, 2019

Very weird.

EmpressDepot says: February 10, 2019

Ok. Got the image to post in this thread now.

That is so weird. I guess I will email in about it. I must have extraterrestrial eyeballs :)

I see it on some of your items, but not others. Your Hanes Solutions has it, but your Party Balloon Cat does not. I also looked at another item and it did not have it. Both of these last 2 items disappeared when I closed the listing. Don’t know where they went. Searched for the balloon cat in your booth and it appeared. Strange. May be nobody had viewed them yet.

I checked the cat listing and it shows 4 views. Yes, the others may not have any.

EmpressDepot says: February 10, 2019

And the cat definitely did not show the number of views for you then :)

Here is abigdogmom’s listing that shows me the number of views it has received.

ccmom says: February 10, 2019

I wouldn’t worry about it really…my guess it is some server updates..seems like on weekends during updates, things happen, categories dissappear, prices change..weird stuff and only affects a portion of the sellers at a time

ArtistsUnion says: February 10, 2019

I also see listings’ views in the mentioned booths and in some other as well..

abigdogmom says: February 11, 2019

The reason the purse has so many ‘views’ is because I promote on several social media sites. Therefore, the majority of those views are not real people, so the information is misleading.

EmpressDepot says: February 11, 2019

Right. I have a few listings here and there that show a lot of views..but it would be from someone else who has tweeted since right now I do not promote.

Here’s something a little weird. Last week I sold a book, but the listing [URL removed]
You are seeing this because you are logged in as the seller
[URL removed] 0 today; 0 yesterday.

I spent the day wondering how someone could purchase the book without viewing the listing. haha
