Arrogant Ebay
I sometimes send email to my ebay customers when I put up a lot of new stuff at one cent start and no reserve. I have their email addresses from them writing to ME (not sent through ebay's system.) Got a PHONE CALL from ebay warning me not to send any more spam email to "their" customers. I thought "customers" were the ones who pay the money. I pay ebay $200 to $400 a month in fees. I am THEIR customer. The buyers of my merchandise are MY customers. I asked the guy WHAT email was someone complaining about, WHO was the complainer, WHAT IP address did it originate from, WHEN was it sent, HOW did they know it was not edited or entirely fabricated in a text editor... sorry - that's confidential.

I wasn't enquiring about what else he had for sale only the item that
was up for auction. A reply of "US only thanks" would have been the required answer.

Sorry, I think that's fair. If somebody's already spammed me, there's no reason to think they'll treat my information ethically. what you need to do frank, is at the bottom of your EOA mail to your customers ask if they would like to be on your list. if they say yes, then it's ok in everybodies eyes including ebay. Yup. This way isn't. I don't think there's much point in complaining about suffering the consequences, which seem to have been pretty mild. Deborah Stevenson ) |

After buying items from them, I've received a STREAM of catalogs and emails without advance notice. Think Ebay minions got on the phone and made stern phone calls to THEM, warning them about poaching Ebay's customers? |

It's not spam if you have a previous business relationship with someone. |
