Default Ebay view count booster script

WHAT IS IT:


This is a batch script that runs in windows command prompt. It will boost the view count of your listings, up to 8 views per day per listing.


WHAT DOES IT DO:


The script will open your listings randomly at random time intervals to add natural views. It divides the day by the number of your listings and you can input how many views per listing you'd like - up to 8 possible views per day per listing. Ebay has a 'cooldown' timer between each time you +1 view your listing, which is 3hrs.

The script will auto shutdown and auto restart at input times +/- a few mins from your specified start/end time. From an outside observer it looks like you're checking out your listings from time to time, leaving the browser open for a random amount of time, and then closing and waiting a random amount of time before opening the next listing. It will all add up to 24hrs, or however long you specified it to be open (like 8am to 11pm).

The script will work in Windows 7 and up. Older versions of windows will need to install additional utilities to their system32 folder used by command prompt, which are simple .exe files you can download from Microsoft.

The script uses the chrome web browser, although you could edit it to work with firefox as well.

Note that since this is %random%, getting +8 views per day per listing is the perfect theoretical outcome. As is in the case of %random%, some listings might open more than once within the 3hr cooldown bracket, or simply less than 8 times during the day. A workaround is to increase the view count over 8, but will increase the overall traffic from your IP address.


HOW TO USE IT:


Replace everything in the [ ] brackets, including the brackets themselves. Copy/paste the script into notepad and save it / name it whatever you want. After change the file extension to .bat

If you can't change file extensions because it adds .bat after the .txt in the file name, open the windows menu and search for 'Folder Options'. Click the 'View' tab. Uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types' and try again.

Be sure to change the number above each ebay listing section in the script, it is at the top of each.

I recommend SEARCHING for your listings, clicking them, and copying that url. Doing this adds HTML tags to the url that indicate the item was clicked on through search, and will affect your Click Through Rate naturally. BE AWARE too many clicks and NO sales can negatively affect the listing's performance.


IN MORE DEPTH:


Below you'll see a line that includes 'set /a closingtime=%random% %% 4 +21'

This is the hour, in military time, in which the script will auto sleep. It's currently set to start sleeping randomly between the hours of 21 and 24, or 9pm and 12pm midnight. If you want to increase this time to say, 8pm and 12pm midnight, use '5 +20'.

Below you'll see a line that includes 'sleep 3'. Increase this number for older / slower computers to something that allows time (in seconds) for chrome to fully close.


When testing this I saw an increase in sales, and they stayed up for quite some time before going back to 'normal'. The increase in sales and for the period it lasted compared to while it was not running was very apparent. After a 3 month break of not using this and starting it up again, the script had no observable affect. This may have a greater impact on new listings with/without slow traffic, your results may vary.

I hypothesize well-established accounts can trigger tags on your listings, such as the '# sold in 24 hours, or # views in last 24 hours, etc' so if you're interested in that, be sure to run the script while logged into those accounts. I didn't test it further however, it could be a coincidence, so take it as you will





THE SCRIPT:


@echo off
title [name your script]
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
mode con:cols=100 lines=35
color 02

set totalauctions=[total # of listings in script]
set pageviews=[# of views per day, up to 8 max per listing]
set maxtimeopen=[max # of seconds you want your browser to stay open, think natural browsing time]
set mintimeopen=[min # of seconds you want your browser to stay open, think natural browsing time]
set wakeup=[# in military time you want to start running the script, example 8, 9, 10, etc, no minutes!]

set hour=%time:~0,2%

:morning
set /a openingtime=%random% %% 2700 +900
set /a closingtime=%random% %% 4 +21

timeout %openingtime%

:reset
set /a num=%random% %% %totalauctions% +1

set /a finaltimeopen=%mintimeopen% + %random% %% (%maxtimeopen%-%mintimeopen% +1)

set /a openhours=%closingtime%*3600

set /a secondsperauction=%openhours%/%totalauctions%
set /a multipleviews=%secondsperauction%/%pageviews%
set /a timeclosed=%multipleviews%-%finaltimeopen%

set /a mintimeclosed=%timeclosed%/2
set /a maxtimeclosed=%mintimeclosed%+%timeclosed%

set /a finaltimeclosed=%mintimeclosed% + %random% %% (%maxtimeclosed%-%mintimeclosed% +1)

IF %hour% == %closingtime% goto night

goto next

:night
set hour=%time:~0,2%
IF %hour% == %wakeup% goto morning
IF NOT %hour% == %wakeup% timeout 60 /nobreak
cls
goto night

:next

echo:
sleep 3
tasklist | find "chrome.exe" 2>&1 > nul
if not errorlevel 1 taskkill /im chrome.exe /f

echo ================================================== ==============================================
echo:
findstr /ri /c:"^ *:%num% " /c:"^ *:%num%$" "%~f0" >nul 2>nul
if errorlevel 1 goto reset
if errorlevel 0 goto %num%

:1
start chrome --new-window "[URL of your listing]"
echo Auction [name of your listing, if you want]
echo:
echo Page Open & timeout %finaltimeopen% /nobreak
echo:
cscript //nologo GooglecloseActiveTab.vbs
echo Page Closed & timeout %finaltimeclosed% /nobreak
echo:
echo ================================================== ==============================================
goto reset

:2
start chrome --new-window "[URL of your listing]"
echo Auction [name of your listing, if you want]
echo:
echo Page Open & timeout %finaltimeopen% /nobreak
echo:
cscript //nologo GooglecloseActiveTab.vbs
echo Page Closed & timeout %finaltimeclosed% /nobreak
echo:
echo ================================================== ==============================================
goto reset


:3
start chrome --new-window "[URL of your listing]"
echo Auction [name of your listing, if you want]
echo:
echo Page Open & timeout %finaltimeopen% /nobreak
echo:
cscript //nologo GooglecloseActiveTab.vbs
echo Page Closed & timeout %finaltimeclosed% /nobreak
echo:
echo ================================================== ==============================================
goto reset


SECONDARY SCRIPT:


This script emulates keystrokes. In this case it is ^w (or ctr w) which is the keystroke for closing a current tab. If you don't want to use it, using 'taskkill /im chrome.exe /f' works as well. It's up to you to edit it out and get it working.

Copy/paste the below script and name it to 'GooglecloseActiveTab' and change the file extension to .vbs. Keep both scripts in the same directory, they won't find each other otherwise.


Dim Shell, WMI, query, process

Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set WMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonat e}!\\.\root\cimv2")
query = "SELECT ProcessId FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'chrome.exe'"

For Each process In WMI.ExecQuery(query)
Shell.AppActivate process.ProcessId
WScript.Sleep 100
Shell.SendKeys "^w"
Next



Enjoy!

(take that Nate)

I probably won't use it, but I acknowledge your effort. *slow clap*

Was this an assignment from your professor?

Don't do it. The last thing you need is views without sales as that will dump your listing down.

Are you seriously considering this? This method will ONLY work if you are selling in a category where you're competing with very few sellers. Tens of millions of customers come to eBay on hourly basis, so this might have a false positive effect that lasts for a short time and that's about it.


Also, keep in mind that what goes around comes around

Personally saw a 33% increase in sales the next day. The average $ amount in sales a day before and after running it was very apparent. This was during late Q2 where overall ecommerce sales tend to be stagnant. After about 2mo, sales dropped back to normal, which is where I decided to stop running it. 3mo later I restarted the script up again and saw no observable affect.

While testing I noticed the '# sold in 24hrs and # viewed in 24hrs' tags would appear on the listings shortly after they were clicked a second time. Could be that certain accounts that meet certain criteria will trigger those tags. It's also possible that it is pure coincidence and completely unrelated to the increase in sales.

Brand new listings without many prior views? Or aged listings already having hundreds or thousands of views?

Could be a way to help give your new listings a bump..

Script ran with some relatively new listings (2-4mo) and some older (6-10mo) with anywhere between a few hundred views to a few thousand - anywhere between 1000 to 3000 at the time.

It's quite possible, and like others have said, depending on the age of a listing and the traffic, using this could result in negative outcomes.... to which I wasn't going to say it, can be used *cough* malisciously.

Seems like a good way to create a less relevant product, LOWERING your search placement for the listing.

Correction - very beginning of Q4 the script started running.

Factor in that this IS the beginning of the upturn in ecommerce sales seasonally.

Prior to October 4 sales were all over the place as you can see. After the script started, it was striking how evenly sales began to pan out. My theory is the slower listings got a boost...

The weirdest thing and what started all of this, whenever I used to check up on listings that hadn't sold anything in day or two, a few hours later it would get a sale. It would happen a lot - so I learned to code DOS and made the script ha.

Soz just wanted to add as to why I think sales went up...

Using this increases the Click Through Rate, at the expense of Sales Conversion Rate...

If a listing is doing poorly (slow traffic without sales) it will be bumped down in search...

So already it has a poor sales conversion rate.

It may be that the boost in CTR helps the listing, when the SCR is very close to 1% or less.

SCR may be weighted more heavily in the Cassini search engine, but CTR may also play a role in the listing's position in search. If the listing's CTR is 1% and the SCR 0%, it may be better than if the listing had a CTR of 0% and a SCR of 0%.

Script was built in W XP - W7 and up don't have the old sleep.exe needed by script ^^

Can download it from Microsoft's 2003 Resource Kit Tools.

sleep.exe was available in Windows Server 2003 so must've downloaded from the Resource Kit back in Dec 2016...


Windows XP will want timeout.exe to work properly.

All OS except 2003 Server will want sleep.exe, but script fully functional w/o
