I'm being spammed by a seller

Has anyone else had this problem? I bought an item from a seller on eBay and now I'm getting emails on my private email address every day saying I've added an item to my cart and to complete my order. How did they get my private email address? They also have my silent phone number, my address and full name displayed on the spam.
I've rang them twice to stop and to delete my records but they keep coming.
They must be collecting eBay members' details......but my private email address????

Anyway, each to their own.

 


 

I don't get adverts. I have Adblock Plus. A recent innovation - circa 2010, I believe. Works a treat.

 

Btw Crikey is not a bloke. I'm amazed she didn't give you a blast about assumptions.

crikey has a red computer and gets emails from debbie in dallas so it is reasonable to assume she is a bloke.LOL

I used Adblock once, it did not work as it says. Intrusive ads still got through.

 

It was an assuption that Crikey was a bloke, or you could say an educated guess. Seems I got it right though?

My husband is going to be so disappointed.

 

But the cash bonanza from the medical marvel that allowed me to bear children might calm him down.

Re: I'm being spammed by a seller

trusted, were you using it on firefox or internet explorer? if the latter then dump it, its useless & slow. If you used it on firefox i don't know why its not working for you unless you forgot to subscribe to a filter? easylist is the best one, i use it & get no ads at all.
