What are the numbered notification boxes I see at the top of the My Account menu?

Published:

These color-coded notification icons keep you informed about events that have occurred specific to your account. The numeral in the box tells you how many such events have occurred. The color of the icon indicates the type of event:

  • Green: Success (e.g., listing posted)
  • Orange: Courtesy notice (e.g., listing posted with warnings)
  • Red: Failure (e.g., listing failed due to eBay policy violation)
  • Blue: Unread messages in your Account Messages inbox
