Judy,

That is not how we work with AW2K. AW2K is our CRM.

It allows us to attch any emails to one customer, unless he has not bene withb us before (25% is a repeat though).

We also use it to create new buyers in AW2K who ask questions and want to get on our wish list (by creating a fake new invoice).

If Ebay/Paypal stops providing us with the email addresses of the buyers and also stops sending us copies of mesdsages (which is what will happen), then AW2K becomes obsolete.

Ebay is heading for becoming a place where sellers manage their sales entirely ON Ebay. They are heading to become a 'closed box'.

It shoudl also be interesting to see how Endicia etc. handles this, as we won't be able to email buyers anymore that their item is shipped, for lack of email addresses. So Endicia will be forced to hook up with the Ebay API to stay alive, just like Redroller already did.
