Bell thingy notification not working this morning

[goldrushfinds]

Anyone else experiencing problems with the notification bell. I was able to find out that overnight I have 2 sales and 2 messages, but the notification bell is dead and shows nothing.

"So What?"

Then why do they have it?
Here's the deal:
It's a "TOOL" that eBay established to communicate to their sellers/users various "notifications". Including the important FACT that they've made a sale.
Many sellers rely on it.
But I do "admire" you ability to workaround eBay's broken tools. Very commendable.

It is still not working for me.  Third day in a row.

Notification bells are very intricate and have a lot of moving parts.

They break down often and require lots of maintenance.

It's a glitch for cryin' out loud.

Glitches happen no matter what platform you're on.

Mine is also currently not working.  It has been broke before. It has been fixed before.

People tend to complain when something is broken and not think about the all the time it has been working properly prior to this.

I understand why the bell is a nice little shortcut, but it's never been really reliable. I've had it stuck on notifications which have been resolved for days, so when I see the number and check the bell, it's old stuff. I've sold items and not had them show up in the bell.  It's like depending on emails to track one's sales - that's not reliable, either. It's why I stick to the seller hub.

It's working again!

I have notice it too.  Hasn't been working for a couple of days. You'd think they would read the posts and fix it.

Still not working for me.   Maybe tomorrow.

Same here! For last coples of days , it just shows blank

One workaround I found is letting a tab open and it eventually pop and shows... but stills feels clunky

If you move mouse or do other stuff , put mouse back and boom blank again

This is very annoying, Also , majority of my item are like 0 view 0 watcher since august 1 but this is weird cuz I sell and there is activities 

What the heck is going on ebay?

The BIG question is ......Can people still search and shop?

Bell notification STILL not working properly. If a red dot does not appear when an item sells the other ways of seeing new sales are a pain to use. The purpose of the "notification" bell is just that to notify you, allow you to click on it, and see (not a blank space as presently happens) but either "items sold" or "messages received" NOTIFICATIONS. 

Sure eBay has its share of glitches (or more than its share) but this one is a true pain. Waiting for fix to happen like lots of others here (some of whom won't bother to chime in).  You can bet this problem is affecting a LOT of people.
