    According to this:

    http://tamebay.com/2012/10/a-new-ebay-view-item-page-coming-soon.html

    I suspect not all accounts will change at once, but be prepared.
    That link discusses the new item page, OP was asking about symbols on the sold item page that sellers see.

    Mine keeps bouncing back and forth between the two - how strange!

    Mine too.

    Was hoping they would had a 'packed' column - as sellers can no-longer mark as dispached when they have packed them. But that would be too helpfull for Ebay - with no profit for them.

    Important update, some of the symbols on Selling Manager Pro have changed too, they're quite pretty.
    I'd like an option to add our own symbols, like a paracetamol for a customer who gives you a headache, a snail for a slow payer...

  • I saw the new symbols yesterday morning for the first time, bl**dy awful IMO!

    My paypal is changed too. The sign in bit is now across the top and the bit in the middle is where you would sign up paypal credit card:p if you wanted one of those.
  • My eBay account has recently reverted to the old symbols which I prefer, but the account I manage on behalf of a charity shop still has the new symbols.
  • My sold view was swapping between the two but now seems permanently fixed on the new version which is nowhere near as clear as the old one.

    Totally agree with techspec a packed column would have been useful. I'm always paranoid about sending items out twice and have on a couple of occasions received an item twice. Luckily for both sellers it was a low value item and they just told me to keep the duplicate ones.

    Ok,...what have eBay done this time ?

    I'm home from work , logged in to check my sales and I have rows of symbols where I used to just have things like 'payment received' and 'feedback left'

    On the iPad I can't make heads of tails of what it is, I appear to have something like a symbol of a calculator, a star over a barn (Christmas anyone?) and other assorted symbols.

    I've got a Headache, I've had a long day at work and I want eBay to STOP TINKERING
    Well at least they're actually doing something, not just sitting around scratching their hows-y-fathers:p

    I could find them a great deal more important things to sort out if they have time on their hands!
