Is it normal to have lost all sense of humanity when selling on these apps now?

This isn't the worst thing in the world but it's just something I thought about. I saw a listing for two shirts that I really liked. I added it to my likes planning on buying it later that evening. The seller sent me an offer for like a dollar off. She put forth the initiative, so I accepted her to immediately. I sent a quick message saying thank you. She never said anything. This was two or three days ago. I just got a notification this morning saying it was shipped.

No one is entitled to response, but wouldn't it be common courtesy for them to say thank you or you're welcome or screw you or something? Anything? It takes literally 2 seconds. I haven't bought or sold anything on Poshmark or mercari or anywhere in a couple years. I always send a message letting the buyer know when I would ship their purchase out immediately just to let them know that I am alive and it's not a dead listing and when I bought something I would always just send a quick thank you. Just out of courtesy.

I was just wondering what other people's opinions were on things like this. I think I said, it's not anything huge. I guess I'm just used to people saying SOMETHING when you have a business interaction.
