How to Automatically Remove Active Content on eBay in Bulk?

In June 2017, eBay banned active content from listings.

I’ve discussed this topic extensively in a dedicated post, covering everything you need to know about the eBay active content ban.

In this post, I’m going to provide you with a step by step tutorial for making your listings compliant with the eBay active content policy.

In July 2016, CrazyLister introduced the world’s first solution 100% compliant with the eBay active content ban.

In January 2017, we introduced the BULK revise feature that automatically applies a mobile friendly, active content compliant eBay template to ALL eBay listings with one click.

Here’s a quick demo of how this feature works –

How to automatically remove active content from your eBay listings

You can either create a new template from a blank one or 100% customize one of the designer made templates.

The elements you see are placeholders that will automatically be populated with your eBay product info once applied on a live eBay listing.
Here’s how this works: the elements below are placeholders –

Once the template is applied to your live eBay listings, these placeholders will automatically be filled with your eBay listings product info:
