ebay question - watchers/bidders

zep33

Was just wondering if someone bids on an auction are they no longer considered a watcher?

Yes they are unless they stop watching from their my ebay page.

I do that sometimes. If I bid, I remove the item from my watch list to free up some space and eliminate clutter.

so on the sellers side, does it automatically drop the watcher count down by 1 when 1 of the watchers decides to place a bid?

thanks

No Zep, I don't think that's the case. I think the item has to be removed from a watch list manually by the bidder; if not, he or she will continue to register as a "watcher" because it remains on their watch list.

I agree since sometimes i throw a low bid on an item, then forget about it, and it ends!! I need to not only bid, but also "watch this item" on my ebay, not just "track the item" in my ebay

No.

The watcher/bidder has to manually remove the watch; otherwise,
the seller continues to see the w/b as a "watcher."

As we all know, MOST watchers are only there for "price checks."

thanks for the replies - was always wondering how that worked.
