Hi, I bought shares and sold them on ex-dividend date. However, I didnt receive the dividends. Why?

Another important note to consider: as long as you purchase a stock prior to the ex-dividend date, you can then sell the stock any time on or after the ex-dividend date and still receive the dividend. A common misconception is that investors need to hold the stock through the record date or pay date.
