I was looking deeper into that idea using seller manager to see where most of my views come from and most seem to come straight from google and then view other items. Keep in mind the way Ebays search engine works more views and watchers is not a good thing. It reads views with no purchase as a negative metric and will slowly lower your items search standing.
I have gotten to where I don't worry about the free listings, I am kind of under the belief that if you have to wait until listing is free then the item may not be worth listing on Ebay at all. There are many sellers who actually despise free listings. When they used to do it once a year or so I would not list at all during the next 7 days because I had run the numbers and shows as much as a 40% decrease in sales during that 7 day period due to the search being clogged with junk. Even now when a major free listing special comes in sales drop for 7 days or so by as much as 15% this current one seems to be around 10% off from my average.
So I view them as if I get them I get them but am not going to stop listing because I did not get one.
