It's frustrating. I have a whole new line of products that I listed recently and no way to know if anyone is even looking at them. I suppose I could revise all of the listings in ebay to use the ebay counter. That would stink because it would be extremely time consuming!
It would be nice to have an option to use ebay counters. But then, I've also seen a lot of posts on the ebay boards saying that the ebay counters are way off. At least we would have our delusion that there are customers.
