Question
I have a fabric store and would like to sell fabric on ebay.  This is my third week putting fabric on ebay.  I have sold 2 pieces.  I have looked for my fabric as a buyer and can not find it.  For instance:  I know my auction has 1 day and 21 hours left and I look the fabric up that way.  I can not find it. My friends can not find it either.How do  I know people are seeing the auction?

Answer
The best way to tell if your auctions are being seen is to include a hit counter. Ebay provides a free hit counter which can be added to any auction. When you view the auction page, the number of hits appears at the top.  

This however is only an idea of the number of times people have clicked on your auctions.  When you want to make sure that the auction is visible in the system, you need to go to MyEbay and view the auction title there.  Remember, it's a good title which will make people click into the auction.  Make sure you have all the right terms, and description.
