eBay question
I have an item or two for sale right now and I just noticed a new format that shows bidders the number of watchers on an item. The number of watchers is not shown on a fixed price auction, but it does show up on a buy-it-now best offer auction. I was wondering how you guys felt about this. If you are selling a low demand item, don't you think it really compromises the seller's potential to maximize the price if the item shows very few watchers and the bidders have that information? I can't decide if having the number of watchers published is a bad thing or a good thing for a seller! Maybe it can work both ways depending on the circumstances.
