    Okay, let me go mental for a minute....

    AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHH! :mad:

    These spammers on eBay are driving me nuts.

    Everytime i go to sell something in the games or consumer electronics section, i get sent spam through the "ask the seller a question"

    Recently, i was selling a Psp data cable which i didnt need anymore, and placed this at the bottom of my auction web page...
    Note:

    DO NOT EMAIL ME TRYING TO SELL ME STUFF OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO EBAY

    No, i dont want to buy cheap equipment from nigeria or hong kong. If you spam me with emails i will report them to ebay and they will close your account for spamming. You have been warned.

    And the follow day, i got this crap in My Messages...

    Dear friend. Welcome We have massive stock in the fields of electrical appliances and brand clothing, shoes, bags, etc.What we provide is the high-qualified goods with lower price and improved post-sell sevice! Hotmail center: wze***@hotmail.com or shoes***@hotmail.com Thanks for your valuable time and yours any advice will be highly appeciated!Expecting a long-time business cooperation with you! Best wishes

    I keep reporting these to eBay, but this isnt helping much, as one this one 3 day auction alone, i have reported 15 spam emails!!!

    And as I write this i have just had a quick look at my messages on eBay and have a new spam email.

    Does anyone else receive this spam when selling and can anyone tell me how to deal best with this, and eBay don't seem to care, and i am sick to the teeth of receiving this crap.

    Sorry about coming across as a bit angry, but this problem is wrecking my head!

    I had the same thing last time I was selling, I just ignored them.

    It is obvious that these guys don't read the auctions and/or are using hijacked accounts.
