Oh lordy! Some jerk is using "ask seller a question" on so far 4 of my auction and the "question" is spam for an auction site.

If anyone else is having a problem - here is the url to report:

I got one too. It's not a problem. Just ignore it. Nobody else but you can read it unless you answer it.

Yeah I know, but I got 4 and have about 400 listings up and would sure hate to have my mailbox fill up with junk. You would have to open each one to see if it was legit.

I got one of those spammers on my auction too.
Of course we all know don't answer it and nobody sees it, but these shnucks are most likely getting SOME people naive enough to answer them, and the whole thing just smells.
I think if we all send along to Yahoo it will help a lot. But can bet for this xmas season there are going to be a heck of a lot more of them...
Even worse is the ones that can't think for themselves and steal a persons blurb word for word...

There are always creeps who take advantage\
of any possible crack or crevice.
Adapt or die.
It sure does get annoying tho.

Now this is weird. I have almost NEVER had a question asked - and this week had 3 or 4 on a given auction, which were absolutely stupid questions, and didn't require an answer, never had this happen before...

Guess this is the new SPAM and/or playground for kids and those with time on their hands.
