Customizing My eBay
In this article


When you go to My eBay, you'll see a summary of your recent buying and selling activity. You can customize the information you see and the order in which it appears.

Customize your Summary page

Your Summary page automatically appears first when you go to My eBay. It displays frequently-used sections, such as buying and selling reminders.

To choose the sections you want on your Summary page:
  1. Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages.

  2. Click the Page options link at the top of the Summary page.

  3. Select the sections you want to see on the page.

  4. Click the Apply button.

Tip: You can also set the maximum number of items you'd like to see in each section. The default is 10 items.

Choose which page you see first

Depending on how you use eBay, you might want to change which page you see first when you go to My eBay. For example, if you sell a lot of items, you might want to see the All Selling page instead of the Summary page.

To choose which page appears first when you go to My eBay:
  1. Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages.

  2. Click the General settings link at the top of the page.

  3. Use the drop-down menu to choose the page that should appear first.

  4. Click the Apply button.

Move sections around

You can reorder the sections that appear on each page of the Activity tab. For example, if you want your All Buying page to show items you’re bidding on first, move the Bidding section to the top of the page.

  2. Click the Edit link in the section header.

To change the color:
  1. Click the Edit link next to the section header you want to change.

  2. Select the color you want.

Delete or restore sections you deleted

You can hide or delete a section entirely, and then add it back later if you choose.

  3. Click the Apply button.

To hide a section (the section header will still appear):
  1. Click the Edit link next to the section.

  2. Click Collapse.

Delete or restore items in a section

No longer watching an item? Want to remove an item from your selling list? You can delete items in a section, and then restore them later if you need.

To delete an item in a section:
  1. Select the check box next to the item.

  2. Click the Delete button at the bottom of the list.

To restore an item you previously deleted:

Note: Once an item is deleted from the Watching list, it can't be undeleted.

Choose how much detail to display

Most pages let you decide whether to display only basic information about the items you’re buying or selling, or all the details. You can choose a different level of detail for each section.

To select how much detail to display:
  1. Click the Edit link in the section header.

  2. Choose Customize from the drop-down menu.

  3. Make your changes.

  4. Click the Apply button.

Tip: If a section contains a large number of items, you might want to sort and filter the items using the View and Sort by drop-down menus that appear at the top of the list.

Customize your shortcuts

The Shortcuts section, which appears on the lower left side of the Activity page, gives you quick access to frequently-used eBay pages. You can customize this list to include shortcuts to the pages you use most.
