My store is closed. Has been since end of august. I never even got a single page view on my items. I get the following email (edited to take names out)not just once, but several hundred times and my hotmail account was full from all the emails. I had to delete them, all but one so I could post it here. If they start charging me for the store that I canceled and I do a chargeback, will they kick me off ebay??

I got the exact same email. I closed my store back in August as well. I went to eBay and it's showing that my store really is closed. I wonder if they're sending this email to everyone who ever opened a store?
