1. 0 views and 1 bid?

   How does this happen. I have coins listed on GC and all of the coins with bids have views except one, which has 0 views and 1 bid.

   I'll let Ian answer this, but I think that someone just bid on the coin using Mulit bid in which case they didn't have to open the link and look at the coin. I see some coins that start a $1 get bids as soon as the coin hit the auction, been there done that :)

   Yes - as others have mentioned - it's possible to bid on coins from their watchlist page in bulk - and it does not trigger a page view - it's commonly used by viewers here as well (as well as when we entered large quantities of bids from non-Internet savvy bidders). We're also working on having images enlarge on the…

   The counters must be out of sync, just like how videos on YouTube can have 0 views and hundreds of comments.

   I believe that Mike has the answer, you can bid on an item from the main page of listings without ever opening the actual auction page, thus no view.
