Hmmm.  Can't be a systems 'bot' that automatically checks each listing, but
the email you received is surely a generic "Dear John" letter.  Weird.

Interestingly, it isn't the privacy they care about.  It's this line:

"Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and
other content relevant to the sale of that item"

that bit me.  I am actually pretty surprised that they didn't object to the
link to my website that lists everything I have for sale!

It will be interesting, as I have 24, count'em 24, other auctions running
that have the same information -- word for word.  It's in my template!
