Increase number of time segments available in Auction Insights downloadable reports
At some point since Bing Ads started offering segmented auction insights data, it began sharply limiting the time period that we can download segmented auction insights data. We are now limited to 16 days of data, 17 weeks, 17 months and 13 quarters. Why? I used to be able to regularly pull 30 days of segmented data and created reports based on this fact. Please reverse this limitation so that we can retrieve at least 60 days of segmented data, 30 weeks and 30 months. As of right now, the data falls significantly short of what is available in Google…
16 votesWe will start the exploration later this year.

When importing the Google Product Feed, you should convert the USD products to the respective countries such as UK. You're losing millions.
Products imported from Google Merchant Center should convert to the country accordingly, not just USD. Bing is losing so much money by not automatically allowing us to convert products imported to the respective countries' requirements

Motion to add Polish language (its 6 years now, it is the time)
From year 2012 Bing Ads supports several languages. But now after 6 years i still find that Bing Ads does not support polish language.
Bing has a major user base in Poland.
Lack of polish language support draws it impossible to display ads to this million users group in Poland.
Therefore i open a motion to add Polish language to Bing Ads.
It's 6 years. It is the time.

Unlimited ads per ad group
Currently ad groups are limited with the numbers of ads you can have within an ad group. If Bing could PLEASE open this up to be unlimited. It's quite frustrating when you need to create new duplicate ad groups within Bing, as these then don't lineup with Google when you're doing imports. :)
16 votesGoogle Ads currently has a limit of 50 ads per ad group as detailed at https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6372658?hl=en
Bing Ads currently has a limit of 100 ads per ad group as detailed at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingads/guides/entity-hierarchy-limits?view=bingads-12
Given we support twice the number of ads as Google Ads, our limit should be sufficient to keep ads per ad group at parity across both engines.

Update negative phrase match logic
The current negative phrase match setup makes it impossible to negative match some of the terms I need to avoid. For example, say I want to avoid anything containing "Progressive". Current phrase match rules will only negative match the query if "progressive" is a standalone word. Broad match is too broad (I want "auto insurance") and exact match can only be done afterwards on long-tail queries. How can I negative something like "progressiveagent" where there should be a space, but isn't?
16 votesWe have no plans to change negative phrase match logic at the current time.

Export all billing invoices for a month
For accounting purposes, it would be very helpful to be able to download all of my billing history for one month in a spreadsheet. Adwords has this functionality, so please add it to Bing as well.

Special characters moderation loophole
For more than a year, I have been trying to fight with illegal drugs ads, but they appear new every day. You can't fight it manually, you must close the ability to bypass moderation due to the replacement of letters and special characters.

ad preview tool
The Ad Preview Tool is a very useful tool for advertisers who want to check if their ads are serving and also for advertisers who are not in market to check their ads in these markets (for example UK advertisers with FR, DE, IT, etc. accounts) however the tool only displays results from page 1 of the SERP. This is not a good user experience for advertisers in competitive marketplaces who want to check if their ads are serving. Can this tool be upgraded to show all results available in the SERP?
15 votesWe don’t expect to change this behavior of the ad preview tool given low interest in this functionality in recent years.

Please simplify API
What is it with enterprise companies and the obsession to make the simple complex?
I have a golden rule, if an API can not be understood and implemented in less then 30 minutes its useless and over engineered.
Ultimately, all an API is, IS a FFI (a Foreign Function Interface):
It should just be a list of calls, with their parameters, some super basic authentication with well defined return payload structure. The API documentation should therefor just really document those Method calls and their parameter types.
But of course, we can't have nice things, and instead we need to build…
14 votesThank you for your feedback. We will actively work to improve the interface.

Enable Paypal In Vietnam, Or At Least Include VND as Currency
Charging on cards and Not Paypal, combined with Vietnamese users cannot use VND to pay create A LOT of fees for us. That's twice the conversion rates for the currency each time we pay Bing ads (having spent $1k here, that's quite a bit of fees). So I suggest we enable Paypal in VN, or at least, include VND as a currency that we can pay!

PLEASE add the health page to the UI - https://status.ads.microsoft.com/ (PLEASE VOTE!)
Please add the health blog / platform status page to the UI, or at least a link to it!
So many people are unaware of this page - https://status.ads.microsoft.com/
Providing this information on the UI, or a link to it will prevent a lot of needless contacting of support, which is wasting the agents time as well as the advertisers! This is especially useful for when there are minor issues such as a delay in data. Instead of thinking my entire account has stopped and franticly contacting support, I am aware that there is a delay and can stay updated…
