    Lately constant bombardment from eBay and sellers!
                     

    Recently I was JUST LOOKING at boots that were offered on eBay.  I eventually purchased them somewhere else.

    I kept getting messages from eBay and sellers too about the kind of boots I was looking at!!!  It was a waste of my time to contact the sellers.

     

    I thought this was a one time occurrence! No!  I was JUST LOOKING at Russian nesting dolls with NO INTENTION to purchase any!  AGAIN messages from eBay about them.

    How do I stop this?  I could not find an eBay customer service email to contact eBay about this.  Is this the way eBay has become?  It is worse than a persistent used car salesman!

    Thank you for any response!

    @seller5-us  You can opt out of most of this in communication preferences>

    I have opted out of offers to buyers in account settings but still get the messages in eBay Messages  but not in an email.   The seller has no idea who you are, it's a  blind offer.    These types of offers usually only happen from sellers when you watch an item but can happen on occasion when you have viewed it.
