eBay Discontinuing And Removing Guides

[noshoepolish]

eBay is discontinuing guides and will be removing them from the site between now and April 12, 2018.

If you’ve used guides to help bring buyers to your listings, we offer sellers even more effective ways to generate traffic. Learn how promoted listings and Promotions Manager will help you drive velocity.

Please save your work before guides are removed from the site April 12. Backing them up to your computer is as simple as copying and pasting them into new text documents. To keep your guides published on the web, consider transferring them to a web publishing platform, such as Wordpress or Blogger.

Thank you for contributing to guides.

This is a shame.

Will they ever stop "fixing" what isn't broken?

This is Ebay we're talking about, remember?

While there are a a lot of really cwappy and inaccurate "guides" that should have been deleted a long time ago, there's also a lot of really useful information that's going to be flushed down the toilet with them. I hope everyone who needs to save the useful stuff finds out about this before it's too late.

Someone had asked Ina about hosting them. I have been a bit busy but maybe check their Facebook page or blog.

Maybe Vlad would be willing to set up an area?
