Does anyone know how to reference this new number into the printing screen - I can only seem to add the old order number, which is pretty useless now that ebay has charged the format once again....
This is what they say:Updated order number formatStarting in summer 2019, we're introducing a more user-friendly order number format than the one we use in our current APIs to help you align with the online retail marketplace. Each transaction on eBay will have a new order number attached to it, which your buyer will see. The new order numbers will follow the transaction through it's journey from you to your buyer and will keep things simple for you and your buyers:
The new number will be unique across all users and sites
It will help buyers and sellers to track their orders with just one number from start to finish
It will be unique for at least 7 years
It will speed up customer support for buyers and sellers
The updated order numbers will appear in the "Order details" section of your View Order Details page, Seller Hub, reports, emails, APIs, post-transaction records, and other locations so you can efficiently track and manage your orders. We'll support the updated order number format in the new version of our APIs and continue to support order numbers in our current API for backward compatibility. Sellers and developers will need to upgrade to the new version of our APIs to get the new order format and align with details that will be displayed in the user experience. You will see the same information in both the user experience and new version of the APIs that buyers see on their email receipts and in other user experience flows.
New Unique Order NumberThe unique order number will appear on all new eBay transactions across all users and sites starting Summer 2019. This new format will not be applied retrospectively to existing orders.This new format aims to benefit both buyers and sellers, helping to facilitate order tracking from payment to post transaction, aid dispute resolution and support customer service contact with consistent point of reference.Frequently asked questionsWhen will the order number be generated?Where will the unique order number appear?Your buyer will see a consistent unique order number throughout the process of buying an item.

Thanks for the post and adding the info.
Within Packing Partner (version 3.4.1.x) you can now print the new eBay order ID on your print layouts by adding the following field to a text frame:
{SaleAlt}
You must ensure you are on the latest 3.4.1 update for this to work : Packing Partner 3.4.1 Update / Install
In the new version of Packing Partner (3.5.x.x) which is in pre-release stage, there will also be an option to use the new order ID as the main SaleID. This feature is not quite ready in the new version, but if you would like to give it a try when it is ready, please send us an email to support@aimcosoftware.co.uk
