It only takes a few seconds to send a quick message, I wish more people would do that

I hope you realise that ebay see it as a fault if you communicate with a buyer outside of the standard email messages. There are also a lot of people like me who do not need or want any more emails cluttering up our in boxes, if it were possible to turn off all the ebay notifications I would do so. I do not need an email to tell me I have paid, I do not need an email to say my item has been posted and I certainly don't want an email asking if my iitem has arrived unless it had been at least 4 weeks for domestic parcels and I have not left feedback. The ultimate do not want is the emails asking for feedback, they either get none or some they would probably rather not have.
