Notifications keep you in the loop on everything happening with your account — a sale, an offer, a message, an order update — so you never miss something that needs your attention.
Where to find them
- Look for the bell icon in the header.
- Select it to open your notifications page, where your recent updates are listed.
What you’ll be notified about
Notifications cover the key moments on both sides of your account, such as:
- Sales and offers on your listings.
- Order updates, including shipping, payouts and refunds.
- Messages from buyers or sellers.
- Price drops on items you’ve saved.
- A reminder to leave a review after an order.
Notifications by email
Some updates are also sent to the email address on your account. You control which ones under Settings ▸ Account ▸ Email preferences, where you can switch categories — messages and offers, price drops, review reminders, news and promotions — on or off. Essential order and account emails are always sent. Keep your email address current under Settings ▸ Account so nothing is missed.
Staying on top of things
- Check the bell regularly, especially if you have items listed — responding quickly to offers and messages helps sales go smoothly.
- For selling, prompt replies and fast shipping also feed into your activity badges.
