How did they expect you to pay for it?
Contacting them at the @ebay email address wouldn't work.
I got about 15 spam messages from a different guy offering something I don't remember what. But he wanted payment via paypal, so he gave his paypal email address.
I sent him a PayPal money request for "spam receiveing services"

Hi toyranch Did you report this email to the originating ISP and all of the intermediaries? I report EVERY SINGLE piece of spam that I receive by having SpamCop trace the origin. I used to let SpamCop send the complaints but now I do it myself and I really think it works. I only receive one or two spam emails a week.

unknown ... It says in that email to go to their web address which is real. It then forwards you to another site. I see they accept paypal. That makes it pretty easy to track them down.

ToyRanch ...
It is extremely easy to change the FROM: just look at the headers. Nothing tricky about it!
ebay0.com ... report this to [email protected] and their lawyers can do the VERO thing and get the misleading website deleted

**** came FROM RCN.NET so just send the whole thing to [email protected] and they will kill the spammer's account. Send it to [email protected] too and ask them to contact RCN's abuse department to see about prosecuting the spammer for forgery and false assumptionm of identity. The abuse staff at RCN are a wierd bunch, but they LOVE whacking spammers

I checked out www.ebay0.com and got a message saying "redirecting to faster server" but I wasn't redirected. Also, the link to send email doesn't do anything. The site appears dead?

the ebayO page forwards to: http://64.212.32.185
If you trace that, it belongs to gblx.com so you'd have to make a complaint to there as well.

Those of you who receive a large amount of spam may want to try this free spam filtering service. http://www.brightmail.com/ I haven't tried it myself because I don't get much spam but it's been highly recommended by some of the privacy/security gurus in the OutOut newsgroup. This is NOT an adware or spyware program and they respect your pivacy.

Yes, I would forward the spam to both rcn.net and eBay, the latter because their name was co-opted. It was not very bright of the spammer to make ebay.com be the Reply-To address, and the inevitable flood of complaints sent to the (almost certainly non-existent) Reply-To will still likely attract eBay's attention. I don't think that spammer tried very hard at all to mask his real origin.
Even if an ISP, as opposed to a companies like eBay, is the supposed (faked) origin, I still forward spam to the ISP, even if I know it didn't really come from that ISP, so they know their name is being "borrowed."
Most ISPs don't want to become known as spam havens, whether or not actual relaying went through them, and using an ISP's name as a From or Reply-To can lead to their servers being swamped with a high volume of complaint email. Several major ISPs have sued spammers over these sorts of things.

What's being done in the name of direct marketing nowadays is crazy.
The above are all just my opinions, except where I cite facts as such.
Oh, I am not dc9a320 anywhere except AW. Any others are not me.
Is eBay is changing from a world bazaar into a bizarre world?
