What's Missing?

For the past month, I felt something missing but could not pinpoint it. Call me blur but it's not as if I think about it the whole time. It's just that something that used to happen every day has stopped happening. It's the feeling that's hard to describe but I am sure you know what I am saying.

Today, it finally dawn on me. It's the Lelong email alerts that we receive when we have a winning bidder or if the auction ended without a winner. Have they changed their alert function to only send the mail out to auctions that closed successfully? I don't know.

Previously, I was using my Hotmail account with Lelong. I faced this problem and was advised to change to another email address, which I did, to GMail. All was fine after that but now, even with GMail, the email aren't coming in from Lelong, except for the promotional newsletter.

Now, it's not that I need these alert since most of my items on Lelong are FOR SALE but then it's good reminder to myself to hop over to Lelong to relist my items. Without these emails, I wouldn't remember when my listing items end!
