I'm basically just curious as to whether or not ebay itself has any

Well, let's see... the spams are being sent by people with no connection to
eBay, from servers that don't belong to eBay... what on earth do you suppose
eBay could be doing to stop it?


Dunno. There were some reports about follow-ups and prosecutions some
time ago, but those petered out. Nothing since and the amount of crap
has risen. Seems like ebay has taken on the con status of E. Podunk
Third National Bank for a "Your account is going to be closed out if
you don't send us all your info immediately" subjects. I'd be curious
to know if they've even checked to see if there is anything they can do.
