He goes in and changes it. It shows in the revision history.
You're not doing ebay watches, are you? Can't _imagine_ why anyone
would want to give ebay or the seller hard data on interest.
Why is that? I watch all kinds of items (hard to keep track otherwise).
Some I might bid on, others I just want to see the ending price. There
are many auctions with ebay watchers that never even bid the first time
around.
So leave the auction open in a browser tab until it ends. When
sellers (I'm speaking here as a frequent seller) see that there's lots
of interest in an item, they're less likely to relist an item at a lower
price...and FAR less likely to edit an existing listing to raise the
starting price.
