Ebay Views
Is it just me, When I look at my items on ebay; my views are terrible. Most well under 10, even for items that have been listed for 20+ days. All PSA graded cards.
What type of views do you guys have?, How do I go about increasing them? I have posted on BST Ebay boards here in the past but it really doesn't make that much of a difference. I became an approved seller on VCP and that doesn't help either as most of my listings don't even appear. Anyone have any suggestions for improvement? Thanks. Tony |

I've found that views on PSA graded cards can be lower because most of the info is in the title so no need to click into listing unless the grade and price are what the person is looking for. They are looking but might not actually be clicking into your listings.

My opinion is that if you have material that collectors are looking for then they will find your listings. In the end you are looking for the 1 view from the person that is going to pull the trigger. If you have lots of views after 20 days at a BIN then you probably have a beautiful card that's a bit overpriced. Not a lot of views then what you have isn't what many shoppers are actively looking for or the price is so high they don't even bother to click on it. All you can do is wait for the one that is looking and willing at your price come by for the most part. One thing is make sure your listings are complete with accurate selections for Era, Year, Manufacturer, Grader, ect so buyers that use those filters get your listing in their searches. Beyond that the rest becomes gimmickery that is just as likely to turn off buyers as to garner a few extra clicks. I know that probably wasn't what you wanted to hear but good luck with your sales!

We all have these issues, and in my years using eBay I find the following factors relevant:
1. eBay ain't what it used to be as a sellers venue; 2. Marketing; 3. Supply and demand. eBay is much less seller-friendly than in the past, although still the main game in town. Is your stuff labeled to optimize attention - are you reaching your target audience. Does anybody want your stuff. Is it priced too high. Just a few thoughts |

Lots of views doesn't always equate with a sale.

You can use a Promotion Manager tool

Agree with David, views and # of watchers means very little on whether the item will sell. I have listed stuff and got lots of views and 20 watchers and no bids. Relisted the same item the next week and got several bids with less views and 4-5 watchers.

As others have said, # of views doesn't always correlate to more sales, especially for BIN items. Saying that I always include the team name in the title of my listing, especially as there are often obscure prewar players who you don't know who they played for. I find that there are a decent number of team collectors that it is still helps to add this to the listing. If the player is a Hall of Famer, I usually always add "HOF" to the listing title also. There are always those players that you might not realize they are in the Hall of Fame, and potential buyers don't either. (e.g., Billy Southworth anyone?) If the card has very low pop (absolute or for that grade), I will add that to the listing title if I have room. Also if the card is well centered, I will sometimes also put "CENTERED" in the title, again if I still have room.
