So for the last week I’ve heard people asking “What has happened to eBay Pulse?” it disappeared from our computer screens with no word from eBay and we have been speculating if this is a temporary glitch or a permanent move.
If you go to the pulse address it just re-directs to the eBay main index page.
UPDATE:! I now have the official news exclusively on Wholesale-Help.com
I’ve just received confirmation from eBay that Pulse has been retired as of September 24th and they have no plans to replace it.

This is the first official confirmation from eBay and you heard it here first on Wholesale-help.com
Below is the tweet that I sent about Pulse and the response back from eBay:
So what now? For years this has been the first port of call for anyone looking to research popular selling niches, this is a real loss to online niche marketers for sure.
So long Pulse.. you will be missed.
How and why does eBay continue to get away with doing a continuous stream of ridiculous actions? Pulse was very useful to many people. eBay is so lucky they have so many sellers just stuck with them. Eventually eBay will put us all out of business with fee increases and ridiculous ways of holding our hard earned cash hostage. It is utterly amazing to me that I have paid them approximately $1,000/month in fees for ten years now and I can not get them to make it possible for me to send an invoice with over 40 items on it. One would think they could afford to hire decent programmers.
I hear you Rick, between ebay and paypal they do a good job at making life hard for sellers. I think they should spend less time chasing Amazon and more time focusing on what they already have which is a unique marketplace that is fast being disillusioned by constant and pointless changes.
Pulse is gone but you could try here http://popular.ebay.co.uk/ 🙂
