Subject: [CR]Re: ebay scams

I too have been getting a lot of ebay scams. The last ones I noticed are questions on "what kind of payment do you accept?" I picked up on this and would either not reply or make sure that I click on "hide my e-mail address" when I respond. Usually the person asking the question has 0 feedback. I suspect that this is one way that they get your e-mail address when you respond. I know it's off topic but its a hot one nevertheless since a lot of us use ebay.
