"IN 16 CARTS"

Maybe the original controller's case will work? But probably not that great. I hope they release a case for the new one.

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.

I'd argue 'abandoned and inactive' is different than 'fake' and you're kinda moving the goalposts.

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.
