For the first 30 days after you register or change your User ID, eBay gives you an icon that stays next to your User ID every time it appears on eBay (when you bid, run an auction, or post a message on any of the chat boards).
So why the icon? eBay calls the graphic of a beaming robot-like critter the "new ID" icon. It's sort of a friendly heads-up to others that you are a new user. (If you've changed your User ID, the icon consists of two of the little guys with an arrow connecting them.) You still have all the privileges that everybody else has on eBay while you're breaking in your new identity. The icons are nothing personal, just business as usual.
