I just received a Spoof Email (from) Ebay about my Acct.
So I forwarded it to Spoof@ebay as usual.
Waiting for a reply I went to my spam blocker because sometimes Ebay's mail goes there.
I check it every day and clear it every day.
Never know if there 's something there you should have gotten.
Well today there were 264 spam emails there since yesterday, and a couple 4 or 5 got through to my regular mail.
This is terrible the amount of trash going out.

By the way Ebays was there and said it wasn't theirs.
And that they reported it to the proper Authorities.

Change your email address to something that is not guessable or discoverable through a dictionary attack. And don't ever give it out to anyone but your friends. No more spam.

[email protected]. Or whatever.

Use a different address for entering contests, signing up for mailing lists, etc.

My primary address has never gotten even one spam.

Ebay should just add Email to the "my ebay" console page.
Just give people an email addy. Then they can monitor not only if it's coming from a bidder, but if you are selling off line...ooops...went a little too far...

Anyhow. They might also get a flavor for the spam that people get. Ebay spam, Megasaur.

I went from getting hardly any spam to having tons and tons now. It's getting very irritating, to say the least. Yesterday I cleared out my "deleted" file and there was 1300+ emails in there.
