Re: Ebay scam alert...

[Leonard Paris]

After all is said and done, this is indeed spamming.  One of the things we 
can all do is use a software tool that will get the spammer listed on one or 
more anti-spam servers, like SpamCop.  That way, if you use that type of 
software, it will bounce his messages and automatically delete them, as well 
as alerting all of the other users of the anti-spam software.

In my experience, reporting to eBay does no good. You get an initial burst 
of satisfaction followed by even greater frustration as eBay (a) sends you 
a canned response, (b) sends you a second canned response that is either a 
lie or addresses some issue you never raised, then (c) lets the a******e 
off the hook.

I reported a seller spamming me. After "investigating" eBay told me that 
his email address had been pirated. Right -- someone pirated his email 
address to advertise his auctions! When I reported him a third time, eBay 
sent me a canned response saying "Here's how to protect your security" -- 
an issue I never raised.
