There's quite a few in the Women's Clothings section (obviously no spellcheck done on the section headings!)

Thanks for tips DG & Sports ....
just had a look at some of the fashion ones - OMG who writes the ebay ones ... Whatever I do, it won't start like one this one ......
There is probably nothing more enjoyable than finding that perfect linen dress ......
Bahahahahahaha ....... whoever wrote it needs to get a life ...

I preferred the one that told me how to get the perfect red lip...
I know I always only wanted one.

I have noticed "Related Buying Guides" are being displayed in the left side panel when searching. The link to the guide should help to bring buyers to your store even if there are no specific ads for your items within the guide.

I think that when that Linen Dress guide was written they may just have made up the 'helpful' numbers too.
100,001 of 100,001 people found this guide helpful

Won't be long now and we'll have the same numbers as the eBay guides

I saw those numbers on the linen guide - I almost felt like clicking 'no' just to see if it would be counted in the stats, because I have never seen a single guide written by an eBay member (not eBay themselves) that didn't have at least a few 'no' votes.
Also, I find it surprising that more than 100 000 people really looked up how to choose the perfect linen dress....it's just not a conundrum I've encountered before.

I thought the same thing and DID vote NO.
I just checked the link and the numbers are now:

Good to know 🙂 (Although, don't ask me why I was reluctant to click the no button myself o_O ).

I have just been reading some of the ebay guides to do with bedding - for Australian buyers there is an awful lot of incorrect information in the guides written by ebay which will totally confuse Australian buyers if they think the information is accurate.
