Ah, OK. That's a relief. I definitely don't like the idea of ebay adding rows on its own, whether for categories or listings. If this is a test of some sort, they need to scrap it. I might add featured categories at some point, but if so, I want that to be my choice.
devon@ebay Can you shed any light on what is going on here?
Hey @my-cottage-books-and-antiques! I got a response back from our Stores Team on this and they said:
“eBay occasionally runs some A/B tests (usually 2 weeks long) to understand what experiences can help improve conversion from sellers’ storefronts. The tests that prove to be helping with conversion, we are adding those changes on your storefront, so you can get the conversion benefits from it right away. However, We are already working on adding seller control for those for good changes in coming weeks, so you can remove those rows if you still would prefer to not have it on your storefront. Please note, If your feedback is about Featured categories row on storefront, then that’s part of an A/B test and the test will end in coming week.”
Devon,
At the top where it says #/8 tasks completed, click on that and I see this:

The only thing I have not tried is adding categories then attempting to un-feature categories. I don't want my account to get stuck with them if I add them voluntarily.
Your store does not show featured categories, but you have 4 rows of featured items. I think maybe my account was targeted because I had only 1 row featured. Checked a buddy's account that doesn't feature anything and it was forced on them. Checked another account I know that features only 1 row and it was forced on them, too. But again - only with Safari.
