Buying "watchers" for my listing via fiverr?

MasterP · #1 11-03-2015

I am looking to buy people, who watch my items / listings on ebay via fiverr.

Would I get caught/Banned? Any experience on that?

if you need this service then your product sucks or your price sucks

I think it will just cause you additional problems, i think you understand that those "fiver" watchers will watch a lot of items really a lot, and most probably none of them will buy.. So it'will be just a suspicious activity..
I would avoid...

Never heared of "Watchers" purchases.
Though, i guess it will be allright.

Well there are people with the same pricing as me or even more expensive ..the niche i am in (or i am trying to get in) is very broad and competitive (electronics)

the others are mostly on top because of their listings..sold xxxx items etc and lots of others trying to sell related crap

@Gunbirz: What could happen? A ban? or does ebay warn me or something before a ban?

Acctually every new stealth account just walks arround watching stuff.
I guess there are so much watchers , its impossible to get on to it.

You know what.
Its acctually interesting thread.
Lets see what other have to say.

I really do not see the benefits of having Watchers,,,,

This. At least with bids, it serves a purpose....

SEO reasons.
Anyway, after rethinking, i guess it would work , but as all stealth works, slowly.
After viewing Fiverr offers of watchers, they are offering 80 watchers in 24H.
That would surely raise some flags, for 500% raise of watchers in such a short while.

You could ask them to space out the watchers.

But it's still a bad idea.

It will end bad.

MasterP · #12 11-03-2015

Ending bad means ban?

Someone tried stuff liek that before?

An alternative version: What if I get/instruct people to bid or buy my items? There could nothing go wrong right, as long as the item is getting paid and ebay is getting its fees..?

Mate, change your way of thinking.
You are Definitely on your way to get banned with this path.
Stealth account means you need to be UNDER the radar, and not try your best to get red flags pop.

well if you are going to pay people then people will do it for you

GhostOfAmazon · #15 11-03-2015

Not necessarily a ban, more likely they will punish you silently by moving your items down in Best Match, similar to how Google punishes black hat SEO by pushing your site lower in search results.

watchers don't make much difference better off buying a load off yourself

Maliquest · #17 11-03-2015

Ill watch items. 1 dollar per item.

That is interesting, that would be my second route to go (as i have stated in this thread already)

any tips on how to do that? Can I open an account on the name of my mother or father and then buy off of myself? OR would that raise flags yet again?

ANY Help or hint on that matter is GREATLY appreciated

Try it on a new account, or if u don't have one make one and test it with that so if it does get suspended it won't matter and if it doesn't you can see if their are any benefits

You can have TONS of buyer accounts. The question is: Do you really wanna go through the hassle of buying from yourself??? You can cancel the transaction but then that raises a flag. You can actually go through and actually pay and make it look legit but then you just paid 13 percent to ebay and amazon.

Why do you need watchers so bad? Do your items really suck that much?

Ive never knwon people to base their buying off of whether there are other people watching.

Even then, they need to all be STEALTH or it's "search and browse manipulation" along with "Feedback manipulation". Not worth it at all.

Alright. I tried to PM some of the guys who posted in here but I can't atm due to my low posting count.

However, if guys are here, ready to buy my items through different accounts, I would be willing to pay you guys for each buy. Also, there is a chance (if things work smoothly between us) that I would buy your "services" quite often in the near future.

Someone interested?
