Everything you see on there prudent page is a lie.
Look up e-commerce social proof apps.
They just show fake results, it should legally be fraud.

Are you saying the “16 in cart” and “470 sold” are a lie? In most cases, that would be true. However eBay does show real stats. Sellers can confirm what is being shown, and eBay shows real numbers. Now how much those mean is a different story.

Didn’t know that’s eBay, but u stand by what I said.
They’re definitely counting abandoned and inactive carts in that stat.

Sure. Plenty of people use the shopping cart to save items too, without a strong intention of buying it.
That is still very different from those scam sites that literally generate a random number.

I do this all time waiting for the price to go down during a sale or to get a “You forgot something in your cart” discount. If its a vendor I only buy from 1-2 a year it will likely sit there for 6-12 months.
