Hi, just got an email spam from "eBayAdmin@______.net". Clearly not ebay, and the link(which promised info about getting grant money) sent me to another service. I want to forward this to ebay. Does anyone know their email address?

BTDT. Rec'd that same spam a couple of weeks ago and forwarded it to either safe harbor or powersellers, don't remember which.
Got a real nice reply that they can't do anything about it because the person isn't a registered ebay user.
As with all spam, though, you can forward it to the ISP so they can boot him off (I did).

You can report it to ebay at [email protected] and also to www.spamcop.net - they have actually closed down accounts I've reported to them.

thanks, I tried spamcop, but got nowhere. I sent it to ebay/safeharbor. That's as much time as I'm going to spend on this. It just really gets to me, you know?

I've gotten several of these over the last couple of weeks. Am going to take the time to send to spamcop -- they need to get flooded with these so the problem gets the attention it deserves (I got 3 of them in 1 24-hour period).

All of you who respond, report, complain or send emails to eBay, or the ISP of spam, are just compounding the problem...
Spam is ONLY bad because it overloads the system with email messages... All of you who send complaint emails are doing the MOST of the damage...3 or 4 emails to stop 1 spam message does NOT make sense...!!!
The ONLY smart thing to do is DELETE...It is not complicated and is really quick...Hit delete...
