...so eBay can do us all a "favor" and cut off all outside correspondence.

I has received 2 emails that say message from ebay memeber. They look official and want you to click on the respond to message. Both messages have been demanding to know where their item is, but with no reference to the item. One said they needed an item number so they could give me a shipping quote. Be very careful . Not only do we have to go through ebay to see messages, but now I guess the safest way to respond is through ebay

I was just thinking that perhaps this is all eBay.  I mean, why not get their favorite CD sellers to do a little "side work"?  Hmmm?  "You spam a bunch of people around eBay, get them really good and tired of all the spoof emails and then we'll come in for the kill and make them have to work with us.  Oh, and in return we'll let you keep any business you actually get from anyone who replies to your spamming and we'll leave all your KWS issues alone.  Sound good?  Okay, well have your people get with my people and we'll do lunch."  Confusedmileyjay:

The no sniffing shirt is no longer available.  She quit selling.  Sad
HOWEVER, Leonard also owns a shirt that reads, "Does this shirt make me look fat."  I purchased it from:  http://www.howlinmoonbakery.com/
I also got all the cat beds from her.

Your "let's do lunch comment" was toooooooo funny. 

I bid on something from JayAndMarie.  I want to see, for myself, what their service is like.  DON'T SHOOT!
