The removal plan
Starting the week of 22 September, the links to Bid Assistant will be removed from item pages and My eBay. Buyers will no longer be able to create new groups of items within the tool. If you’ve used the Bid Assistant tool recently (or do so before 22 September) here’s how you’ll be affected:

• If you have an active Bid Assistant group as of 22 September: You'll still see the link to Bid Assistant in My eBay, and will be able to view your groups of items within the tool. The Bid Assistant tool will also continue to bid on the items within each group as scheduled. However, you'll not be able to add or remove items from a group, or alter your maximum bids. Because these groups will essentially “lock” on 22 September, make sure you don’t want to change anything within your Bid Assistant groups before that day.

• If you have a closed Bid Assistant group as of 22 September: You’ll still be able to view your closed groups via the link in My eBay.
