OT: eBay has decided to change their eMail format

I mainly buy on eBay and I used to get the sellers email address in the PayPal receipt. Now it is hit or miss. It was nice to have the contact info but I guess eBay doesn’t want anyone to contact off the website. Might miss out on making some fees. Geez, eBay is so annoying

I haven't done a transaction with those yutzes in about 10 years. Looks like they have the same issues only worse.

You can still see the buyer's email when you view the record of the transaction. Go to All Orders. Click on the drop down arrow on the far left side to see all of the possible actions. Choose "View record." You will see the buyer's email for 45 days after the transaction, and then it will disappear.

Edit: ebay is doing this to try to prevent off-ebay sales, where the potential buyer inquires for a discount if they bypass ebay for the sale.
