I know I as an eBay seller will get a ton of watchers on an auction and it will not sell. I call them dead-beat watchers. It's annoying. And I would rather sell it somehow than not at all. And I have taken down auctions down early that have had no bids when I've sold the ponies on the arena when I've had watchers. I figure that if the watchers were really interested they'd hit the BIN button or bid.

I'm guilty of this. Lots of times I'm just curious how much something will sell for, especially rare nirvanas.
Well if there's a bid on it, I think it's wrong for a seller to cancel. However, if there are only watchers there are different reasons for canceling. Like I said I've cancelled because I've sold on the arena or TP if there's not a bid. There has been times where I've had to turn arena members down because I forgot to put a hold on a pony because it already had a bid on eBay. I've also had to take down auctions because I went into the hospital unexpectedly for a week a couple years ago. I had my husband end the auctions for me cuz the med I was on prevented me from being able to look at a computer screen very well.
Regarding "watchers" - I don't think whether a listing has a watcher or not is at all relevant. There are ALWAYS watchers, even for items that never get a single bid! I figure they must just be watching out of curiosity, or to see how much a particular item is going for, or in the hopes the seller will re-list with a lower price.
