    They took the MESSAGES link off of the Seller Hub
                     

    Seller Hub - https://www.ebay.com/sh/ovw

     

    The Messages link that was under the SEARCH button disappeared a couple of hours ago.

     

    Hopefully this will be fixed faster than the missing Search option for non-store sellers' items.

    @tx-shopping   This was fixed on my and other Selling accounts sometime last evening (Monday Feb 13) ... 

    The entire menu line that includes the Seller Hub title, Seller ID and messages over on the right disappeared on Friday ... I assume the result of an error when they did their weekly server update (on Thursdays).

    Hey @devon@ebay @kyle@ebay @elizabeth@ebay 

     

    Lots of reports about the Seller Hub Overview page changing last night. eBay removed seller ID / FB / Store Icon / Messages link / Seller Help link (possibly inadvertently with Thurs night site maintenance?)

     

    Screenshot to show how it's missing on the Overview page, but appearing as normal on Listings page.

    Hey @wastingtime101! Let us reach out to the Seller Hub team to see if this was an intentional change and we will let you know once we hear back!

    Don't know if you ever got a response @devon@ebay, but some time within the past 3 hours eBay fixed this. The Overview page is showing the normal header.

    you can use the browser plugin "tamper monkey" and create a new script that adds the link back created one can view it below, unfortunately it just adds a link not as useful as the original that shows messages count... however i use it far to much (several times a day) to have it missing completely  hope this helps some one out there  you may have to play with the numbers to get it in the correct location  (margin top / margin left)

    I don't have it...heck I don't even have my user ID with feedback showing now.  I also haven't found messages anywhere else yet.  It wasn't under Tasks either.

     

    Oh wait---I just found messages.  That will take some muscle memory work.  My seller ID is still gone, though.

     "I don't even have my user ID with feedback showing now."

     

    I miss that, was used to judge if I needed to leave feedback.

    I guess my brain was locked into looking upper right for messages from way back.

    Was the Unread Messages to the left of Awaiting Shipment always there?

    Awaiting payment would be better there, since all the other pages in the Seller Hub have the Messages button under the Search button.

    Yes the one on the Left has been there for a long time, There is a third link on the Overview page in the Tasks pane (if you have that pane visible) add in the My eBay at the top line and you have 4 possible ways of getting from the Overview Page to Messages.

    It seems to be gone on overview page, but still there on the other pages........agree it was handy, but you can also get to message link by just hovering over the "myebay" at the top......messages are in that drop down list.

    Another change for the sake of change?

     

    I notice they also brought back the "back to orders" blue button at the top of the label page.

    more like an "unintended consequence"...........I think that's the new euphemism......... so now they have to check with 14 people to be sure it wasn't  "intended" and then get it on the 200 page list of things to be corrected..........sigh

     

    I filled out their form "what don't you like" on the "back to orders"  link at least 30 times so glad to see it back.

     

    Now I'm working on the feedback page to get it show everything that WAS on the old feedback page....I'm up to 15 or so on that........

    @dhbookds  You were not alone.  I reported it a dozen times & told them exactly where it needed to go & why.  I figured I was the reason LOL.  It came back the day after I started reporting it, so here I thought I did some good LOL.  Regardless why they put it back, I'm thrilled they did.  It was so annoying to do all that excessive scrolling for no reason.

    lol. didn't mean to sound like "I" was the reason it got changed back........glad we worked together on it....along with many others I'm guessing.....it was a real pain......
