Does anyone know how Collector’s Weekly collects and updates its “most watched reels on eBay” listing that many of us use? I’ve seen reels with dozens of “watchers” that never make the listing. Is it an affiliate of eBay?

Thanks.

They use the algorithm method, as do many other similar sites, which just scrape ebay data the way Facebook learns everything there is to know about you. There are several other categories besides "most watched," so if you're memorizing what's offered on ebay, you can probably find everything on CW, too.

Re: Collector’s Weekly listing of reels
I use it every day as an easy way to find things on eBay. For the Fishing category, it's easier than doing a lot of individual eBay searches. Although some times it does have glitches, if you've seen all of the non-fishing items that have been on the main fishing page in the last few days...
