The spoof that wasn't

Mr. Jaggers That was probably also a spoof with a web bug in it, with most email clients there is no way to tell. Joe Fischer |

Mr. Jaggers wrote: I wonder if any other rccers had this experience. Mr. Jaggers Yes. on a number of occasions this past week. Had me puzzled. Although they were items I might have been interested in, I had passed them by on earlier searches. When i checked on the auctions involved and in all cases the items hadn't in fact been relisted by the seller but were just running along as normal. No changes ...nothing. Maybe ebay are trialling a new `pssssst. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider this one?' that they will shortly be asking an extra fee from sellers for. :-) Ian |

The spoof that wasn't
"Mr. Jaggers" lugburzman[at]yahoo[dot]com wrote in message ... A couple weeks ago I reported that I had been receiving emails from "eBay" about my watched items having been relisted. The first time they were not items that I had ever watched, but the second time one of the items was very similar to what I would be watching, and the other was exactly something I had been watching! Both times I forwarded them to . Both times I received the standard "we can assure you that eBay did not send them." This happened again on Wednesday. Again I reported it to spoof. Today I received this email from eBay: "The notice we sent to you incorrectly referred to an item bieng relisted that is not on the "Watching" list for your account. Although this notice is an authentic email from eBay, it was mistakenly sent by our system. We apologize for any inconvenience or concern this might have caused you. Other members have also reported receiving notices for items they are not watching. We appreciate your patience with us as we work to correct this problem as soon as possible." I wonder if any other rccers had this experience. Mr. Jaggers I have received a couple bogus eBay messages like that, but not lately. However, as of a couple days ago I started receiving what appears to be legitimate "eBay Buying Status" emails from them in multiples of four and five of the identical email. Opened my mail this morning and there were nine consecutive repetitions of this email. Anyone else experiencing this? Bruce |

I just unchecked the Daily Buying Status box in my eBay preferences, so hopefully these emails will stop. I never really paid much attention to them before and never realized I must have checked that box years ago. I don't really see the need for these daily status emails, what with My Ebay available to check my activities whenever I want. Anyway, the repeating emails seem to have been fixed today. Bruce |

I thought it very strange to have 9-10 identical e-mails from eBay for the Buying Status. This started a few days ago for me. Jonathan_ATC |

Bruce And I just got another notice that an item that I allegedly had been watching (I hadn't been) has now been relisted, this after an email from eBay assuring me that the problem had been fixed.
