Not sure if I had anything to do with this whatsoever but recently suggested to support removing the message .....<Insert partial item here.... has been listed..Check our selling tips to increase your selling sucess......For the majority of sellers it was a useless repeat of unnecessary information and made locating listings emails challenging. As of this morning, seeing the following for sales: You made the sale for <Insert full item title here> vs the previous Your item sold....Get ready to.....Hopefully this change will be of help to others. So far no update on the listing side. Does make a sale a little bit more visible on the email side.

While on the subject of the new (not improved) "sold notifcation" email...unlike the previous ones used, there does not seem to be an easy link to the buyer..should you wish to do something as silly as, well...contact them!

In their desire to streamline they have been making things that used to be easy to do much more multi-step. Same goes for hiding the custom messages from the buyer that they used to be able to leave. Very easy to miss.

You may want to look at either checking your selling settings for mail or adding a secondary email address. If that doesn't work you may need to contact ebay for a solution. All it "can" take is inadvertently moving a mail to spam and things stop.

I have all the ebay emails automatically filtered to folders when they arrive so I never see them. Some days I get like 70 if someone buys like 30 cards, its way to much clutter, miss the 1 paypal email for a 30 item order!!!!

well, as it turns out, i am getting the new 'made a sale' emails. Got my first one yesterday; it's the first sale notification i've gotten from Ebay in 2 months +. Another seamless transition by Ebay... 🙄

Got my first "made a sale" email yesterday too. Personally, I much preferred the one that said "Your Item Sold!" Seemed a much more positive message.

Me too. It is a sign of to many policy type wonks thinking they are adding value and shifting paradigms.

It was also easier to spot when it pops up in your phone notifications. I thought the new one was spam when I first saw it. In the grand scheme of things though, this is pretty minor.

Arggh, Your Item Sold! worked just fine. Would eBay staff/admins just stop changing things that don't need to be changed? What a waste of tax dollars seller fees...

yep, it's just somebody trying to look busy ..the sale notification emal has changed 3 times in the last 5 years. How is that possibly necessary?

I preferred doing my feedback from the Your item sold email, now you have to go to sold items and then you get the generic feedback and is more complicated.

From a personal perspective all I wanted to see was Item sold and what it was without all the added eBay spam information. It was redundant after the first time it showed up that way. How they should appear for ALL ebay mail. Only the facts!!!

Maybe eBay could compromise and let US customize the sold notification emails. Then everybody would be happy.

From my testing there is little in the way in customizing with any of the most recent changes. According to eBay compromises are verboten. So WYSIWYG!!!
