Default Harassment ....what do i do?

I have a few items listed on eBay and everyday i am receiving 20-30 emails in my inbox from one particular fake website advertising their "quality shoes, bags,belts" i have tried blocking the email address they are sending from but they keep changing the email address. I have also sent messages back begging them to leave me alone but they send me message back saying things like "my friend , our product the best we do business for future" I don't know what to do but would love to know how i can get their website closed down?

This first thing you should do is NOT open any of their emails and NOT respond. When you open one of their emails, they know that your email is an active one.

You could try blocking the root of their email addresses (everything after the @).

I probably shouldn't do this, but when I get those, I send them back 100 emails.

The message is jkaslfjdskdfjasdkfjkdsajfsdkfjsdakfjsdk

100 times for every one.

Oh, that is too bad. Usually when I get spammed they come from unique addresses that I can block without blocking legitimate emails.

Best thing to do is to delete unread and don't answer at all.

It is likely to be a bot sending the email by a program looking for keywords.

It is a pain in the butt, and pity there isn't a report spam button on eBay mail.

Those are computer generated. You can't really stop them. You can block them but they just get another email addy and continue to send.

I agree with most of the above - don't open them, don't reply just delete.

Go into the e-mail in my messages in eBay and report them to eBay. They close the ID's down but only if they know about them
