Ok, so there are about 20 of an item on ebay, and I have 11 people watching mine, so...

... how many do you reckon are just the other people comparing their progress, and how many really are interested in bidding? Not that it matters, I just have no patience and 22 hours to go with 3 bids so far!!

If you put links to your ebay on here, people sometimes keep an eye on the stuff and bid towards the end
Good luck with selling your bits

depends what your item is, a link would help. I'm a powerseller and have often found that whatchers amount to ntohing.
