"Hi ********, Let the Tracking Begin" ......

Good grief  🙄 🙈 

Why do their emails talk to us like we're kids...?

Dumbing down at it's finest  😠

On the app, I used to get a notification of a bid, and could see what that bid was just by looking at the notification.

Now there is a notification,a small image of an emoji wearing a party hat whilst blowing one of those kiddy party blower things, you know, a rolled paper noisemaker that unfurls when blown and makes a rasping “toot” sound. Beloved by children and nobody else.

I now have to click on the notification to open eBay before I can see what the bid is.

Presumably someone in the programming department decided this was a meaningful improvement and is now very pleased with themselves.

Yep - they're still sending those ones out, too  🙄 😐

Somebody at a supplier company that I used to deal with sent me an email which consisted of around 8 separate lines/sentences, and each line had an emoji at the end of the sentence.  One of the lines said something like "if you have any trouble, give us a call and we'll walk you through it", followed by an emoji of a man walking.  I told them I wasn't a 5-year old that needed a picture to explain the words and would they please stop insulting my intelligence.  The moronic communication wasn't the reason I parted company with them, but it certainly didn't help their cause.
