ebay counters

For some reason the hit counter on my auctions have reset themselves. I have never seen this happen before or heard about it. Has it happened to anyone else?

It's not a big deal, I just like to know how many people are looking.

    My counters all reset yesterday on my auctions too!!! I'm with you, it's kinda nice to know if people are actually "stopping by" for a look or not!!! What causes them to reset....anyone know????

    Our "My Ebay" page has been doing weird tuff lately. Not showing items sold or watching

    EBAY's "free counters" are VERY inaccurate, anyway.

    There are some shareware counters on google that
    are better. At least they do not show "4" visitors, five
    seconds after you list your items.

    Faulty counters are a consumer fraud. They fool sellers
    into thinking there are tons of visitors. They fool buyers
    by making them think there is great potential competition
    for the item. EBAY benefits from both sets of mistaken
    beliefs.
