eBay

Sold an item this morning and the e-mail sent to me by PayPal notifying me that I had received funds looked completely different than ones I had received before (as early as yesterday). Originally I thought it was some sort of scam e-mail, but the e-mail address seems to be legit, and the funds are safely in my PayPal account. Anyone else notice this?

The e-mail also made reference to "PayPal Shopping Cart Contents" which I have never seen before - I've noticed the little shopping cart icon in the upper corner but never really thought much about it. Maybe this style e-mail is specific to selling something through the shopping cart?

The e-mail also gave me a "Receipt ID", which I don't think I've ever received before. The e-mail says to "retain [the receipt ID] for your records so that you will be able to reference this transaction for customer service."

Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I think you get a different looking receipt if a buyer uses the cart or jut pays direct. Since the Can cart is fairly new, this is only an assumption. On the US site, they do look totally different.

Well, at least you are getting invoices, I am missing 2 from the last 2 days. It is very inconvenient.

It went to Spam and I had to check Spam to make sure before I delete them otherwise I wouldn't knew there are payments there!

I checked there right away, they are not there.

Yup, it seems like you're correct. Got a couple other 'notification' e-mails today and they were the older style. Just looks like that one was different due to the cart!
