Actually the sellers are told a count of watchers.
They don't get the
specifics.
Even if they did, I'd say "big deal". I use ebay often. I get what I
want out of it. I don't expect utopia. You guys seem to whinge on
and on and on about ebay's shortcomings, as if it was absolutely
horrible to use, yet it seems to satisfy the vast majority of its
customers, both buyers and sellers alike. I've done some business
through VCM. Because both the seller and myself are forgetful, the
deal still hasn't resulted in an exchange of cash for goods. With
ebay's system, this hasn't ever happened. Say what you like about
ebay vs. VCM, but ebay has a better mechanism for purchasing items.
