I use counters whenever I sell on ebay....It's one tic per user... if somebody looks at the auction 5 times it's still counted as 1. It is than an indication of how many different user ID's look at an item.

Hi Steve,
The counter is put on by the seller. It has been offered for at lest
the
last few years I have been selling. As far as I know it is just counting
the
times people have looked at the page. And, yes cool rear derailleur.

> Can anybody say when ebay instituted the counter to monitor the number
of
watchers when you sell items? As I don't sell frequently on ebay, I had
never seen this feature before. Does anybody know whether the number
listed
is the number of people who have bookmarked the auction or perhaps
something
else. If it the number of bookmarks, there are likely going to be
fireworks
at the end of the auction for my late 70's Titanium Huret Success rear
derailleur where more than one quarter of the people who have looked at
the
auction have bookmarked it. The same for the 1960's Campagnolo
waterslide
decal, where almost third of the viewers have bookmarked the auction. Of
the
rest of the auctions the ratio of bookmarks to views lies between 1 out
of 6
and 1 out of 10.
