    I suspect most big companies sell whatever they can track of you on the web. The chances of anyone doing much punitively to them is low and the money coming in for your data is always there. Figure out how to send a photon torpedo to the spammers and/or disrupt ebay's transmitting your data to 3rd parties. I wish it was possible, surly do.

    What gets my goat, ebay recently sent me an email claiming my account was compromised. Go figure in 17 years of ebay my account has been what - COMPROMISED. This email below is a forced request if you do not comply they lock you out of your account on the pretence of security which is BS.

    End of rant.

    I don't do anything with ebay emails to my email account. The only ones I do respond to or for that matter read are the ones in ebay messages. (for other's education that might not deal with ebay). Once you open ebay and sign in there is a "messages" area.

    I do the same with any notifications from my bank, phone, and most other accounts. Why? Because I have seen fake emails from ebay and other accounts in the past that looked like the real thing was written in a similar fashion to authentic emails.

    The fake email always wanted me to follow a link and log in to my account. This would give the scammer access as well. 73 Mike
