I got that one too. Assumed it was a foreign eBay site that got over ambitious in its mailing list.

I got it too. I sent it to spoof@ebay and they said I had requested these notifications! NOT in Spanish, sorry.

It's from ebay.es, Spain in other words. They speak spanish there. I'll bet it went to anybody who may have listed on european ebays.

I got one, too. Promptly deleted. I speak one language and that's English. Well, I speak American, as my friend in London says. He hates it when I call our language English.
