I used to get so excited when I had a watcher or two on my auction items

When you are a new or "hungry" seller, it still takes a while to ignore watchers. Then you look at the seller central boards and learn the reason why "not to" pay any attention to "watchers. True words, some are fellow sellers, looking for sales and pricing like kind items they have to sell, some are the no $ (wish book lookers). Some are who knows what, not buyers, that's for sure.

Then, in a moment of sheer madness, when you look at your last 90 days of no sales, you will see a pattern. Some of your items, which had watchers, also had a larger than normal amount of page views. This is an important indicator.

Even though most say that "watchers" never count, when accompanied by a higher than normal page view history. Well, RELIST IT!.

i wait to relist these  when there are "free" listings available. I don't have a store, so I have to ration my listings. My experience has been that 1/2of these sell within the next 6 weeks. Instead of being a part of the mess that makes you hit the "relist" button for all of your listings that did not sell after many tries. Just try to trott outthe ones with previous "watchers" and higher page counts.

Don't just keep bangin on the relist button if your item is obviously not drawing any watchers or views. That is just contributing to the mess of listings we are trying to get out from under. Group like kind items, restructure price or pull it until the season (time of year) is better for selling that particular item.

I like to share my experiences, and what is working for me. Hope it helps.
I re-list everything I have, over and over and over if I have to.
Each time I re-list, I mark down every time until it sells.
Because of that practice, I'm a power seller. I don't consider my listings that aren't getting as many views as others contributing to a 'mess' of listings. I make around 1k PLUS a month and typically sell every day to every other day.
That's not a lot to some people, but to me, it's that little extra a month I need in my pocket.
I pay very close attention to watchers, and also views. If I notice something isn't getting a lot of views, rather than just not re-list it,
I re-think the way I have marketed that item. Is the title not broad enough, am I using the wrong keywords, etc.?
Most people who aren't getting views aren't getting views because their titles and listings need a lot of work,
not becuase the item itself isn't worth re-listing. Not to mention their photography is so awful most buyers avoid even looking.
That's my personal opinion.I guess it just depends on what you're selling.
I'm very  new to this whole thing, that is to say in my first year of selling.  So sort of in my 'experimental' stages trying
to find what works for me. Even though I'm in my first year, I STILL consider myself a newbie. I tried to get advice on these boards way back and ended up with nothing but snarky replies and exchanges with rude so called 'Ebay veterans' ready to snap at anything to make themselves feel more empowered I guess. Therefore, I can DEFINITELY support any sort of thread geared at helping newcomers out. I know what it's like to deal with the sharks around here first hand. But since getting in a little experience, I love to help out whoever I can, for whatever my short experience is worth.

So I'm having my hand at a little bit of anything and eveything, and its turned out alright. My real goal is to double my profits, but I realize I'm going to have to find my niche before that happens. It's a tough game on Ebay! Definitely not for every one. It takes patience, and a willingness to evolve/change and LEARN! You see many who don't even try. They just keep going the same ol' route and making the same complaints time and time again... Btw, nice to meet you!!!
