I have gotten two or three that way -- they aren't scams in the regular sense, they are listed ebay users who are offering to sell your stuff for you, usually. ebay catches them (sometimes) and has twice sent me an alert, though they didn't need to.

What annoys me is when I report stuff to ebay and they reply with all the stuff __I __told __them__ in a form letter, as if they had never read mine. But I have all the mail in my messages forwarded to my real email address and I write my replies from my real email address -- I only use the ebay mail if I think someone's spam locker may have kept them from getting mail directly from me. I do this because I want every single email I ever sent anyone about anything to be saved on my machine at home. ann > > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
