How is it possible to list an item and one minute later it has 6 views? I was always under the impression it takes several hours after the listing for the item to show up on eBay.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I think its a glitch in the system. just recently I had 30 views on an item within a couple hours and I don't normally get that the entire time. The views are crazy high as of lately. Sales are still borderline depressing......If it is timed right (by luck is the only way I know of) your item can show immediately to hours later normally.

Not to steal your thread but I have been having trouble using PayPal on eBay.

When I go and check out I get a popup saying PayPal is not working at this time.

Not sure if it's eBay, PayPal or my account settings?

Not sure what you mean. I know when I hit the list button my auction shows up in "My eBay" I was always under the impression that it did not show up for viewers until a few hours later. If someone has you saved as a favorite seller I think they can view my item right away. I just noticed recently that I get about a half dozen views real quick. Before I could check my auctions 24 hours after listing and I might only have 1 or 2 views.

It usually takes several hours for my listings to appear. The only views I have before then are from me looking to make sure everything looks good.

People use the low price and or the high price or the first to expire or the last added. Maybe some like to see the new listings and keep it set there. Weather and holidays have a lot to do with the traffic and weather messes with the spirits in the air, lol. Sometimes I text my cousin less than a mile from me straight line and no trees or hills and it takes either of us 2 hrs to get a text by phone. I text my sister in Arizona and its instant, go figure.

There are an enormous number of search engines that automatically view ebay listings, that show up on the counter.

A lot of companies sell item value and other data they glean from Ebay.
