Hi Bricklink,

After switching to PayPal marketplace for onsite PayPal, I no longer receive
email alerts from PayPal that I have been paid. PayPal tells me that all those
notifications now go to Bricklink. I think it Bricklink's responsibility
to pass on those notifications to your sellers. Can you please create an option
to receive payment notifications by email when a buyer has paid for their order?
This could be an option in my account settings that I either turn on or off.
I would think this would not be a huge undertaking and would make the transition
a lot smoother. Especially considering the fact that I did not read anything
about email notifications no longer working in Bricklink's communication
about enabling PayPal marketplace.

Thank you!

Second this idea. I used to get notifications on my phone where ever i was, now
i have to log into Paypal or bricklink which means possible delays in shipping
if i don't pick the payments up straight away. Bricklink have forced this
on us, so at least have the decency to set up a bricklink notification of payment
received.

I changed the message template for "purchase confirmation" to include "paid with
instant checkout" so I know from the email that payment was made and I should
not expect a second paypal payment confirmation email.

Yes this needs to be done.

I contacted Paypal to confirm that the emails are being sent and that Bricklink
is receiving them. I then contacted Admin about 5 days ago but of course that
contact has not been answered.
