In this article


You can see everything you're doing on eBay in one place—My eBay.

What's My eBay?

My eBay lets you track your buying and selling activity, send and receive secure emails, and update your account information. If you trade with any regularity, you'll want to go to My eBay when you sign in.

To use my eBay:
  1. Click My eBay at the top of most pages.

  2. Click the Activity, Messages, or Account tab to get started.

Activity tab: Tracking what you buy and sell

Use the links on the left side of the Activity tab to track your buying and selling activity.

The links are organized into three main sections:

  • Buy—for tracking items that you’ve purchased or bid on, as well as items that you’re watching.

  • Sell—for tracking items that you’re selling or previously listed for sale.

  • Organize—for tracking your favorite searches and favorite sellers.

Tip: The Shortcuts section, which appears farther down on the left side of the page, lets you quickly go to other eBay pages. Take advantage of this time-saver by editing the shortcut list to include the pages you use the most. Learn more about customizing My eBay.

Messages tab: Viewing and responding to messages

The Messages tab displays messages you’ve received from eBay or other eBay members.

If you receive a message from eBay at your registered email address, you’ll also find a copy of it in your Messages in My eBay. This duplicate message in My eBay verifies that the email is authentic and not a spoof (fake) email.

Learn more about using eBay messages and minimizing unwanted email.

Account tab: Viewing or updating account details

When you click the Account tab, the summary view comes up automatically, which displays your financial and billing information. You can return to the summary view at any time by clicking the "My account" link on the left side of the Account tab.

You can view and update other areas related to your account by clicking the links on the left side of the Account tab.
