yeh, I thought of that, but when I watch something, I don't automatically watch it when it gets relisted. Unless there is some setting in eBay that lets you do that?

I don't know, but it has me wondering if there's something like that, either within eBay or a third party app.

Here's a bag (different seller, in Korea) that has 11,414 watching! I have to believe this is some kind of bot, program, or manipulation.

Some of the FB:

"Not what i imagined it to look like but its okay."

"The bag was nothing like to picture. Cheap takky finish and so small."

"NOT RECOMMENDED! !! Watch out!! the bag is nothing like the picture"

"Do not reccommend. The finish Is shiny and cheap, cost to return it prohibitive."

"Handle is already broken"

It's puzzling! I'm going to speculate: maybe these are all relisted items that have been in her store for months. Would the previous Watchers carry over with each relisting?

She does have almost 600 "followers."

If the seller lists with "good until cancelled" rather than a regular 30 day listing, the listings will automatically renew after 30 days. If you had it on your watchlist, the new listing will be on your watchlist. So previous watchers can carry forward to a relisting.

She must have an organized group that automatically watches everything she lists.

The more watchers, the better the placement, right? I am guessing it is a program of some sort to manipulate search.

I'm sure that's it. People are doing it on Tradesy too. I think it manipulates the search more over there than on ebay. You can hire people on Freelancer to give you a bunch of likes. I hope ebay figures it out and bans these people.

Hi Ladies, i recently became a victim by the owner and seller Tina Ma. Those who have known about her, clearly understand what might have happened. I am asking for anyone who might have an interaction with her as I am pursing legal action. If you can kindly let me know so I have testify against her please please help me out and try to avoid others becoming a victim. She is also on internet by le goodie closet as well as an ebay seller
I hope this is the place to start (apologise in advance if im wrong abt the posting)

Quick question, Ladies! I purchased a pair of boots on eBay via the BIN option. The seller stated that returns were not accepted. However, right after I got them on Sat I noticed undisclosed damage. I've never had to return something on eBay up to this point...so I searched eBay and opened a return case with them. The seller just accepted, but said she wishes I would have contacted her before I did. Does it leave a negative mark on her account or something? I honestly thought I followed correct steps?
