Strange goings on with Paypal payments.

I've received 3 payments this evening from Ebay buyers and in the emails received from Paypal for each payment the text in blue [the links, item name, and email address of buyer] all have a line through them. Anybody know if there is any significance with this?

    I've only sold one item today and that paypal email has come through normally.

    I received payments too emby, but no line through the emails, sorry. Maybe contact Paypal to ask?

    Thanks for the replies, yeh I think a phone call / email over to Paypal might do the trick. :)

    I use talktalk which I think is AOL and mine are the same and the links are disabled. Nothing to worry about.

  • Yes... this has started happening to me with my AOL email, on anything that is sent to me which contains a link.

    If you click on the "enable links" option then it moves the lines from being through the text, to being underneath it.

    Oh yes, I use AOL! That's saved me on the premium rate number ;)
