Why 2 SOLD emails for every item sold???

Why 2 SOLD emails for every item sold???

1st, I get an email with the subject of, "Sale confirmed: 80 Comics ☆ Buffy th..." when my item actually sells.

THEN, I get a 2nd email when the item is paid, with the subject of, "Your eBay item sold! 80 Comics ☆ Buffy th..."

It seems extremely obvious that the 2nd email should say, "Your eBay item has been PAID! 80 Comics ☆ Buffy th..."

Seriously, who came up with this business flow?

This all started happening right after I was FORCED to migrate to the horrible eBay Managed Payment.  I really hate being eBay's DEBUG Beta tester while trying to run my business.

Change your Communications Preferences. It takes about a minute.

My eBay>Account Preferences>Communication Preferences>Seller>Selling Activity

Unfortunately you can only change the email choice for Item Sold. 

You cannot change the email choice for checkout completed, it is default real time.

I want to know when my item sells, not really concerned about checkout.

It actually is helpful when selling on auction or when a buyer accepts an offer.  You get one notification when the item sells and another when they actually send payment.  It is a tad redundant when using buy it now and demanding payment upon purchase.
