Did anyone else get a tutorial when they opened their active listing page this AM? eBay is showing me how to use their promoted listings LOL! It's only getting worse and worse folks less sales more fees.

Good luck to ALL the small sellers out there!

I got mine yesterday and there was no way to click out of it unil it showed me all the "updates" May be why they were having server problems and people couldn't connect or pay for purchases.

Sometimes you just have to leave well enough alone. I can adapt to change - but this site changes every time you turn around and I do think most people like things consistent. All of this should have been rolled out all at once - but everything is piecemeal here.

It happened to me yesterday too and you are correct, no way to click out of it.

I hate to be forced clicking on links. Again.... lack of options!

Nope but what’s wrong with tutorials? I think they need more. I use promoted listings maybe that’s why I didn’t get it.

I just clicked through it and really didn't pay attention to it. Took about four seconds total.

I figured if it were REALLY important it would have been buried somewhere so I couldn't find it.

I use them too. I resisted at first but they work.

Yes I got the tutorial, clicked until it went away, saw the new column they added and immediately went to the customize and removed it from view...

I got out of it by simply clicking "refresh" and reloading the page.

Nothing wrong with tutorial if you chose to participate.
What is wrong is being forced to participate (if you don't click on the link you are stuck on the page). I do not see the benefit from having to click the link just to get out.... without actually paying attention to the tutorial itself.
No big deal, just another annoyance. I use promoted listings too.
