Any one using the free counters from eBay and it says that for them?
Do they suck because they're free?

it's just being polite...
























...actually that's what happens when you have the hidden counter enabled.

It's a hidden counter that reports back to that person's control panel. Only the seller knows the number that way.

Edit: do they suck? Not really but they're of limited value. Andale paid $5 million to ebay for a 3 year contract to display those counters. Not bad for eBay.

Those free counters (counters.honesty.com) screw up the AnalogX proxy server running at work

Is your auction starting at some time in the future?

It's not working because you never took the time to understand it.
