No More Magento Go (or ProStores) for Online Merchants

eBay Enterprise, eBay's e-commerce division indicated that its Magento Go and ProStores platforms (which over 10,000 merchants currently use) will be shut down as of Feb. 1, 2015. 

Magento will be focused apparently on its products for bigger and more sophisticated retailers - Magento Enterprise Edition and Magento Community Edition (as well as its next generation platform Magneto 2). 

eBay and Magento have published information on migrating from MagentoGo and ProStores as merchants plan for their transition to new e-commerce platforms. eBay Enterprise indicated it is working with BigCommerce to provide subscription-based SaaS plans (similar to what they are currently using) for those that aren't the right fit for its flagship products.
