Got this as a question regarding one of my items! User, of course, has a big fat zero next to the name! Grrrrrr! Anyone else ever get anything like this?

"Dear Ebay customers: This message is come from a company based in China, we are mainly trading Abercrombie&Fitch T shirt. All the products are coming from the factories taking orders from the original brands, but without the licenses to sell them. That means our products have the top quality and very low price, which is very popular and quite easy to sell on Ebay. For example, the Abercrombie&Fitch shirt we are selling well, with the market price of 60USD , sell on Ebay at 40USD , and our wholesale price only 12-15USD. We have many years experience of international delivery and transportation. We will guarantee provide the wide variety of door to door fast, secure delivery and best service. If you feel interested in our products, need more products description, photo, detailed price and other information, just email to us, we will give you immediate response."

I responded...GO AWAY! Tee hee hee!

Have you reported them to ebay yet? It is against ebay policy to spam other members.

These are easy to handle:

"Dear Mr. Egg Fu Young,
I am very interested in your offer, and I always pay in advance via Western Union wire transfer. Please send more information on your products and prices, and place my name on your regular list."

Sincerely,

I reported this to ebay, they told me that they need the "header text" but I couldn't find it anywhere. Initially it came into my messages through ebay as a question from a potential buyer. Ebay says they need the header text before they'll take action! WTF? Wasn't my forwarding the email, through ebay, to ebay, enough? The email had a web site URL and email address. Couldn't they follow up that way? So so irritating! Anyone know how to find the header text?

Loren,

Just click delete. Not worth the hassle dealing with Ebay on this one.

Sparks,
I am suprised that classic didn't beat you to the punch. LOL

Classic,
What do you mean that aint funny?

Good for you. Now you don't have a thing to worry about. Until that semi pulls up in front of your house next week and unloads 25,000 pounds of chinese fortune cookies in your driveway.
