Has anyone else been getting emails like the one I am going to copy below?? I have been getting 1-2 per day. Different member names in the heading. Does not make sense.

Just a spammer with lousey programming skills. Just subsitute every "mn" with a space and you get:

We are a large wholesaler for selling electrical products , an agent of all the well-known digital products manufacturers , and facing to wholesalers worldwide . We have our own warehouse and stores , We export all kinds of digital products , and offer competitive , attractive price and good quality , so you can make a big profite . We have been received very high praise from our customers all over the world in the past few years .

Wow, thank you sthoemke. I have been getting one to 2 of these every day for several weeks each with a different Member name. I could never have figured that out. Thanks again.

I have been getting the "question from" emails but have not opened them - figured they were at best spam and certainly not from ebay.

Does it do any good to report these to eBay?
I've gotten several that had legitimate eBay user names and stores. Of course, the feedback link doesn't work, nor does the respond to question link.
