Yes the first 30 days with Sellathon is a 'Trial' whereupon your private stats via the counter are exposed to the world unless (according to Auctiva Jeff) you raise a Sellathon support request.

The displayed counter stays free after subscription though, but the advanced uses of it stop.
Did Sellathon say whether the eBay change affects the way that the count is used for statistics gathering or just for showing the hit count on the listing itself.
I was considering upgrading to the second level of subs for Sellathon for the next month starting in a days time so I need to find out quick otherwise it will be a waste of money.
