Re: Low Item Views?
 

Cassini hard at work. Things switched up around a month ago to give preference for listings with high CTS/CTR.. so make your listing stick out like a sore thumb and so it sells the product.

There seems to be a slight placement in BIN vs my 1 or 3 day auction listings for the same item(s) in the same categories. For some reason I find my auctions are maybe in 2nd or 3rd place on the first page of a search, whereas my BIN listings are pushed back to nearly the end of the page. Also the amount of time remaining on an auction listing seems to push it up more too.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

is your listing good till cancelled...

Re: Low Item Views?
 

Auctions used to get a bump in search close to ending time, but they claimed that stopped a while back.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

I noticed that too. You used to be able to type in something generic like "iPhone" and half the first page would be auctions ending within an hour maybe two hours, then the most popular BIN listings

Both actually

Re: Low Item Views?
 

Weird thing is the items are still selling, but barely any views.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

What you've written is exactly so. I take advantage of this by creating one BIN, one Auction and several scheduled auctions to start when one ends.

I make my own BIN Button (linking back to my original BIN listing) and stick it right at the top of the description on all auction listings. I make sure to leave a text saying they can buy the item right now if the cannot wait for the auction.
:dance:

Re: Low Item Views?
 

Smart Idea. I stick to BIN nowadays because I just can't deal with nonpayment buyers. Too annoying, especially when you get excited when an item sold for XX and never get payment or never respond to messages.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

Frankly, I never worry about the amount of views.

What I focus on is the quality of my listing and the pricing for my target market.

New accounts do get a helping hand from eBay because they want to encourage you, but this only lasts so long. The algo has always been you sell more and make more, thus your results in search go up. There's really no such thing as staying level. It's either you go down or you go up.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

I've stayed level, for about 2-3 years. I could erase half my listings. I can double my listings. Always the same level.

2 things I am certain:

1.You aren’t a millionaire.
2. I am still doing better than you.

So the answer is NO you can’t.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

How Cassini ranks listings can drive a seller nuts, esp. considering there are no guarantees when it comes to eBay.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

lol excuse me? You know absolutely nothing about me. zero. zilch. nada. You don't know how much I've made. You don't know how well I'm doing. You base your statements on pure and unadulterated ignorance.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

Some are probably still laughing at you....but for other reasons...or not.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

Don't worry! Just optimize your listing titles and images. It will helps to get more views.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

both really

Re: Low Item Views?
 

What did you expect ? Most of ebay is being overrun by drop shippers. They have basically spammed entire platform with identical duplicated listings. Now that ebay is introducing the Buy Box this will ease up some of the saturation.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

I have changed my title numerous times and nothing. I will play around with it tonight again. It's always the top 3 guys that have like 800, 300 and 100 sold items getting the sales.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

Changing description, building titles isn’t working anymore. The market is too saturated and it will only be downhill from here on. Check Amazon, it got so saturated people are screaming everyday their sales are slow.

Re: Low Item Views?
 

Huh? I hadn't heard of this...
