The PayPal Email Changes
If you have a PayPal account, you may have gotten the recent email from PayPal that they are reducing the number of emails that they send to their customers. Why they find this necessary, I can’t imagine- it’s not as if they have to use postage to send each email.
Anyway, the good news is that they aren’t cancelling any important emails at this point. They are mainly stopping the emails that PayPal used to send when there are order cancellations. The only downside is that if you cancel an order, you have to email the buyer directly and can’t rely on a note attached to the cancellation email. You also won’t receive an email if you send a customer a refund, which is no biggie.
What I would appreciate an end to is the email receipt when you pay for something. You don’t need it- all of your payments are there in your PayPal history. Of course, that might be next on their list of eliminations…

I think the issue is that too many emails like that might get paypal black listed as spam by some providers. That’s probably what they’re attempting to avoid.
