"You made the sale for xxxx" ???

[soundsugly]

I wish eBay would just leave things alone. If its not broke, etc. Just when you get used to a new system (eg, listing designer) they go and break it again and make it even more dysfunctional. And it always gets worse. evern new change is worse than the last one

Today I open my inbox and the first item is You made the sale (item bname)

WHAT? What kind of Chinglish is this? On what planet does anyone speak like this?

What happened to SOLD: (item name)>??

Clear, concise, simple, and at a pinch allows me to SORT EMAILS to find what has sold over the last few days

"You made the sale for"??

Seriously?

I think the criteria for eBay - is 12 - 15 year olds - working from home. 

I'll double down and say "bandaiding from home." 😓

Being an Aussie, I have no issues with "g'day". If you are a blowin...

Not “Greetings, biological entity?”

Yes, now my emails says "you made the sale"  too.    And the postage chosen  is no longer stated in the email, so means double the work.     Why ebay, why?    As stated here, it seems a change for no reason.   😫

Lol… I use G’Day all the time 😂😂😂

(there’s no plum in my mouth, I’m very much a typical country bush chick 😂🤣😂) 

edit: actually, I use G’Day mate……..

Am I the only one to prefer hello to g’day?

I feel so alone in my ung’day corner…

Good morrow to you your grace.

There is such a beautiful reading of Donne’s The Good-Morrow by Richard Burton…. It’s of course not the sort of good morrow you meant, but it’s one of the most beautiful poems in the world. (And Burton does it full justice with that velvet -fine voice of his.)

Here’s one of my favourite greetings (but I don’t find it reciprocated a lot… sadly…):
