eBay Shipping label - Option for contacting Buyer

[oletooks]

For the last several weeks, the option to send your buyer a message when printing shipping labels is missing. When will the option be back? Always good to contact your buyer and advise them of their order and any other information they may have requested. Anybody know whats going on?

I read another post about this a short time ago.  The ebay rep stated that it was an intentional change so afaik they are not planning on reinstating it.
