Guys -- sorry, I goofed. (We are human, after all!) In order to respond to user demand for a special verified logo, we developed one that shows "verified" when a user "crawls" a mouse over it. We're also working with eBay to get approval for other "verified" logos, and it was one of those that we made available too early, due to a miscommunication we had with ebay. Sorry! Don't worry -- eBay has assured us that they won't strip anyone's auction over this, and we've made 100% sure that the new, current verified logo (with the crawl-over) that we just made available is eBay OK.
Sorry again about the miscommunication, and thanks for bringing this to my attention. X.com will continue to work closely with eBay to keep providing both our users with great services, and I will do everything in my power to keep everybody informed and up-to-date!

I am glad that I only listed a handful of new auctions with this logo. There's still a lot of large logos around eBay. Maybe they should send out an announcement again.

Damon: It appears that even thought they have been somewhat changed, they are still not approved by ebay, paypal states they are compliant with all including ebay, which to me and a lot of others appears misleading.

Hello everyone,
It appears that there is some confusion over the new PayPal logos. The new logos are 250 x 33 pixels and 250 x 50 pixels. This does not comply with our policy that states that any banner on your auction page must be no larger than 88 x 33 pixels.
For the full policy on logos permitted on your item pages please see the following URL:

I am still using the old, small logo, and will continue to use it. It takes no room and is more visible than the new striped blue one.
