EastEnd1 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Not sure if anyone else has brought this up, but I'm processing some Ebay orders I got in over the holiday weekend and have just noticed that the buyer's registered email address is no longer shown on the "view order details" screen. There seems to be an encoded Ebay email address now. I just got switched over to Managed Payments and am guessing it's a change that came with that since Paypal has been cut out Edited September 8, 2020 by EastEnd1 misspelled word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattn792 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 No surprise really, I would chalk it up to eBay doing everything it can to prevent users contacting each other privately to circumvent eBay's fees. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Design Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hmmm, But don't you see the address when you print a label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James J Johnson Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Whoever brings buyer and seller together, facilitating business, deserves their cut for providing the means to do so. Part of doing business. You sell at a physical location, you pay your landlord/ You sell online? You pay your landlord. Same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd1 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Interestingly, the buyers phone number is still there. If you hit the "info" icon, it says the new encoded email address is to reduce fraud and violations of Ebay policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we call and ask them for their email addresses. I see that my buyers have had their email addresses randomized, also. Ok with me, not really a problem. I also see that the addresses are still available in File Exchange: http://bulksell.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?FileExchangeCenter At least for now.
