Is there a way to see how many people are "watching" an eBay listing?

Asked by buckyboy28 (4961points) December 3rd, 2009

I am talking about a listing that is not an item that you are selling.

Observing members: 0 Composing members: 0

@Zen_Again I know what you mean, but I’m referring to “watching” an ebay listing, not the number of people currently viewing the listing. The number of people “watching” is essentially the people who have favorited the listing to come back to later.

I never ebay but I am aware of it. Sorry, but I wasn’t being fascetious. I just meant, wopuldn’t it be nice if everything had an “observing members” thingy?

@Zen_Again That sounds a bit SkyNet-ish to me. :^D

It is a great feature for a seller knowing that there is interest out there, even if actual bidding is slow. I think it would be a nice feature for everyone else and would likely increase bidding if potential bidders/buyers knew others were also keeping an eye out on an item of shared interest.

@whatthefluther I agree. I suppose that that is the reason for the counter at the bottom of the page, but that can be flawed because it can count people twice or pick up extra counts from google searches and such.
