Hello everyone, this is Jenny Copson from Product Management. This week we’re launching eBay’s new counter feature, which will replace the existing Andale counters that some sellers have used for the past five years. Counters are an important tool that help both buyers and sellers get a sense of the number of other members who may be interested in the listing.
What to expect
Three styles will be available: basic, retro-computer and hidden. As today, visit counts will start at zero and stop when the listing ends. eBay counters will be an option on new listings and relisted items. Existing Andale counters will not be replaced on current, revised or ended items.
Store Inventory listings with the ”Good ‘Til Cancelled” duration will be updated with the new eBay counters when there have been no visitors for 90 -120 days. For information on using counters in your listing, visit our Help page.
Please note: Sellers who wish to continue to use the Andale counters may do so by visiting the Andale website.
Safety and Security
In addition to this change, we have also formed a partnership with AOL, focused on Safety and Security. The new eBay counters will link to a special page within eBay’s Security & Resolution Center. Together, eBay and AOL will provide a wealth of information about safe behaviors on eBay and across the Internet. Visit the new page on the Security & Resolution Center to see how eBay and AOL are working together to make the Internet safer.
Sincerely,
Jenny Copson
Product Management

Looks like a great partnership to me.
Now with E-bay being such an azz and AOL being a hole we have the perfet place to stick the syringe to clean up the back load of crap on the auction site.
