It appears at least some have not read the announcement carefully enough. As I see it, the only changes are that the cancellation message will not appear in the messages section on the Seller Central Dashboard but instead will have their own banner/widget.
This is surely better and in line with the sort of thing many people were asking for when the new style dashboard appeared and we lost easy sight of some data.
And for those that do like to work with the email cancellation notice, they will still get this.
I can see why some may want to see the request in buyer/seller messages however we donât see orders that way so this is no different. To me this will be no worse and probably better as it will be more visible on the dashboard until actioned.
