The Bots

[Dufus]

Does having 18 bots on new account means it's flagged?
Also when i list new item,the bots also scan my other items again.

[muzzie]

Why do you think they are bots? For me, not more than 8 bots come, and other ppls are real visitors.

[Dufus]

Well the item isn't showing in results, yet i have 18 views.

[muzzie]

Maybe it is just somewhere very deep in the search results?

[Dufus]

No,item is pretty rare i searched.

[muzzie]

Well, then nothing much left other than waiting.

[Dufus]

I'm i worrying over nothing? Bot's don't mean anything?

lol

Most times I get 1-3 views before ever showing up in search. I have had up to 6 views and 2 watchers before ever showing up. Usually a watcher means it is up for manual review at that point. But i havent had many issues with views and watchers before showing up in search

If you keep refreshing and visiting your own listing, views rise

[Dufus]

I thought your own views don't count?

I think they do, now I could be wrong since I check my listings either from a guest account on ebay or from the original account that the listing was created with.

That doesn't work anymore, apparently some users have figured out it's sarcasm.....

[rsot]

@OP, don't worry too much - if indeed it was "bots", if your listings are still live - just continue. I figure you may have had real views

pretty sure they do cuz from experience mine goes up 1 after visiting from my own page unless that's some1 else who happened to look exactly when I did, which I doubt
