You probably all know this but I just clicked on 'buyers email' instead of going down to the email address beside where it says 'winning bidder' and the title of the auction and the number appeared in the subject line! I have been typing all of that for each auction. Dumb, dumb, dumb. This will save me an unbelievable amount of time as I send EOA notices myself and do not use the automated ones.

Where, and on what page, is "buyer's e-mail"?

When you go to your ended auction and are signed in it is below the relist your item quickly and above the zip code information like below.
If you have more than one of this item to sell, you can relist your item quickly and easily.
Buyer's email: xxxxxx@xxx
Buyer's Postal Code: xxxxx
By sheer accident I clicked on the email address there and it populated the subject with the title and number of the auction the person won. I usually click on the email address after the person's ebay name down a little lower to send them a notice.

Thanks, pmelcher. Learn something new almost every day. Keeps this old brain from atrophying.

I like the EOA notice for the BIN as you can click right on the e-mail address and put in your info and you can send.
I hate the EOA from regular auction style as it opens a new window then adds a stupid ebay line which to me is worthless. I end up having to copy and paste the e-mail address just to stay in my same window. And with the BIN EOA, all I need to do to send the text is click two buttons and it will insert it right into the e-mail. With the Auction EOA, I have to open a file then copy and paste all the text.
Hey Ebay, make your auction EOA just like the BIN EOA asap.
Oh, one more thing the BIN has that the Auction EOA does not. It will have the bidders name, city, state and zip (or country) where the auction EOA only has the ZIP.
This is helpful when you get the bidder that assumes that you will know who they are when they send the money, but don't tell you for what.
