Ebay & spam

I'm getting not very nice spam emails everyday and I think that they got my email through ebay. They go straight into my spam box and I delete them as soon as I spot them, is there anything I can do to stop them. They are all from different email addresses so either someone is bored and likes making up email addys or my email is on some sort of chain letter email.

    I'm in a similar situation. Eventually I'll get tired of it and get a new email address. I seriously don't see any other way of stopping it permanently.

    No not from Ebay itself, but I think that's how they got hold of my email. It really creeped me out at first but now I'm getting 5 or more a day and I'm just annoyed with it.
