Is that data gleaned from the web? You'd think picking on them in these very forums would decrease "trending" amount, would you not? I see it often enough to notice it.

BTW, when we post links to evilbait, delete the ? to the end of the link...those are tracking bits, or so I've been told.
I always do.

So tell me about evilbait trending.

Average list/sale price(buy it now) on eBay is $15.00. No other place on the web.

so if someone is selling George Washington's axe for ten bucks, it shows up as "trending" of 15? Makes no sense.

Oh, wait...its evilbait...it makes no sense.

Now that I had direction, found some discussion on evilbait forums about this. Apparently the bay decides (somehow) the value of an item (who knows how) and "trends" it thus?
Folks were complaining suckers....errrr.....buyers were telling sellers the item is too much. evibait says so.

So, apparently this only comes into play now if your item is below what the bait thinks it should be...regardless of year made, color, graphics....I am so glad I won't use them other than comic relief.

More abject stupidity.

Something like that -- takes the average selling price of everything that sellers describe that appears similar. In part, this number means little since few sellers use identical language and check off identical criteria in their listings.

Similar problem or action when you see recommended stuff -- most make no sense but that's because the listings of the sellers make no sense and the algorithm in use is quite limited. However, every now and again, it does make sense and I see something I otherwise might have missed.
