I have viewed many items while doing price research and have never received a notice that offers were sent on a item.
I get notices simple because I have viewed the item. I do not watch any items and I have all notices disabled in my eBay account.
eBay is falsely communication to these other sellers that I am interested in the item and wasting their time when send out offers.
The listing page includes the number of watcher on a item below the BuyItNow button and above the shipping details. So how many of these "watcher"s eBay is claiming are actually people who just looked at the item without watching it? eBay is also lying to sellers about people being interested in items when they are only do research so would eBay also lie about the number of watcher?
“Hurry before it’s gone. 1 person is watching this item.”
