I get them too... I think it is a way for spammers to use the e*ay 'Question
for Seller' feature to spam their auction to the world. Somewhere there is
someone selling a script that lets them send these out by the thousands.
When I -know- that I haven't asked any questions lately, nor do I have
anything for sale, then I just delete them. I expect that e*ay has some
reason why they can't tighten their feature up so this isn't possible, but
maybe they just don't care about it...?
