Bogus Buyers Inundate eBay Sellers With Spam

Quote:eBay sellers began reporting last week that bogus users are "buying" items in order to get sellers' contact information. They report they are then inundated with spam email. One said the problem has been going on for 2 weeks, and wondered why eBay couldn't prevent nonsense addresses from being registered. Three different sellers sent AuctionBytes letters last week with sample bogus addresses from these "buyers":

Buyer's registered address

jbjvb
rfgfdg
fgdfghgf, MB h7f 2d6
Canada
