  • I always start getting spam & spoof mails within 2 days of listing an auction. They must be getting my e-mail address from somewhere :rolleyes:

  • I am currently getting spam from china. They seem to have automated they way they send the mail as I can get them for all the items I have in a specific catergory and I will get several from the same company. They all appear to have been sent via the ebay mail system so they must be using the ask a question link in the auctions. The more stuff I list the more spam I get.
