No More Name and Address on "Sold" e-Mail

Whenever I saw the e-mail that I had sold something, the first thing I would look at was whether the buyer was in Canada or the U.S.

 

The last couple of days, the e-mails I've received simply state "Congratulations, your item sold and it's been paid for."  It shows the item, the price, the buyer's User I.D. and a link to Shippo (which platform isn't mandatory of course).  I knew I would eventually have to use Shippo but was postponing it -- thanks to ypdc-dennis for the updated rate comparison.  Shippo has the best rate for Small Packet which is only a little higher than for the former Light Packet and you don't have to fill out custom slips.

 

Since all my items are IPR, I don't know what the "sold" e-mail looks like when payment has not yet been made.

 

This isn't a big issue but I'm curious to know why eBay introduced this change and who it benefits, if anyone.  Anyone venture a guess?

I got my first one the other day also & I preferred the old format which says who it sold to etc. Not sure why they needed to change it. Like everything else we just have to accept it & move along. No one asks our opinion!
