'We got your order' - how crude is that?

Am I the only one to find the new eBay message that is sent when you buy something really barbaric? 'We got your order' is rude, abrupt, and semi-literate. Seriously, is that the best a major online retailer can do? It looks like a text message from a pizza delivery guy.

 

As a seller, I would never dream of sending a message like that to a buyer, and as a buyer, it makes me wince every time I get it. What was wrong with 'Order confirmed' or 'We have received your order'? 'We got your order' - sorry, I just hate it!

 

Also, it's not even accurate - eBay didn't get the order, the seller did, so who are they to say 'We got your order'?

So do lots of others, but I just ignore it.

Probably an Americanism!
