Paypal notification email

I've just sold something and had an email from paypal with the subject header "notification of payment received" rather than the usual "item no xxxx notification of an instant payment" etc.
Any idea why it's different? It's definitely a legitimate sale, it's all there in my paypal account when I log in, but the email itself is different too. At first I thought it must be a clever spam, but it's not. Just wondering why it's different?

They do sometimes vary.
All that matters is that the payment is in your paypal account when you log in safely (not following links etc)I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I've never seen one like it in 8+ years, very strange! But it is definitely legitimate. Buyer has just registered today, no idea if that is relevant or not..weird!

I get the two different ones all the time, not sure why though ?0

Could the buyer have paid using paypal directly using the item number instead of using the ebay checkout?0
