Question
It seems eBay is taking a use it or lose it stance towards store owners and their traffic reporting. Here's a quick note I recieved from eBay regarding a change in how traffic reporting is collected:
Because not every seller uses these reports, we are making a small change to how Stores Traffic Reports work. eBay will stop collecting traffic data for Store sellers who go more than 90 days without checking their Stores Traffic Reports. Stores sellers who regularly check their Stores Traffic Reports at least every 90 days will see no impact with this change.
Stores sellers who do not use their Stores Traffic Reports will be able to re-activate data collection by simply signing in to their Stores Traffic Reports; eBay will begin collecting data for at least the next 90 days. To keep data collection going, you must check Stores Traffic Reports at least once every 90 days.
All new Stores sellers will receive a 90-day grace period after opening their Store in which traffic data will be collected. In addition, all Stores sellers will have a 90-day grace period from the date of this announcement.
This change will preserve eBay's data collection resources for the Stores sellers who use them, while ensuring that the service remains available to all Stores sellers.
I normally check traffic reporting at least once a month, but ya' know how time flies through the holiday season!
Cheers

Time must have flown for me this summer! I used to check it quite frequently but when I got the email, I checked...no graphs but there were some stats in text form below. SO I don't know if I'm on "the list" or off it.
