The eBay user "planetanand" has sent the following message to the group: Ebay quilters
Hi,
I am Ricky, I am new to E-bay, and it just happened that I am working for a Company Called Andale - The guys who provide you the free counters for your listings on Ebay.
We started off with another solution for Ebay Sellers who like to put up more than one image for their listing.
Generally what happens is that you tend to pay extra for the 2nd image onwards - Right. You pay ebay-15 Cents for every extra image you put up and almost pay up to 75 Cents for click to enlarge - Right.
Now Andale who is the Preferred solution provider for E-Bay, can provide you a solution where in you can put up to 8 or more images/Listing on E-bay for a Very Less Price.
Cause we believe in "Images talk more" than your Description - Right.
For a Nominal Fee's of just 2.95 $/Month, You will be able to upload up to 100 images which you can use on your listings, and improve your visibility of your listings on E-Bay.
If you want to get a very Good Deal, You can contact me at anandk*andale.com, and I will give you a very good Pricing and attend to you personally.
One more Thing is that once you upload the images to the server, you will able to Auto Resize the images, so that you can bring down the Uploading time for the same and also do Auto Color Correction.
So guys if you have anything there which would help me to bring down my cost on E-Bay please do inform me.
Make sure you contact me at anandk*andale.com, instead of clicking on the reply button. And be assured you get the best Image Hosting solution on Ebay at a price, which bring down your EbAy Expenses.
Hope to catch your Mail as early as possible and lets hope to grow with each other Hand in Hand.
Regards,
RICKY JOSEPH

I can't imagine that Andale would think that is OK. Sounds like some spammy scam to me. The way it's written, if that is a rep from Andale, he needs to go back to school.
If it's legit, seems like ebay might not appreciate sellers being told how to pay ebay less by using Andale, and on ebay's own boards, no less!

I figured it out. If you are a member of the group, you can send an email to everyone in that group. All a spammer has to do is join, spam, then unjoin. Wonder how Ebay is gonna handle that? http://community.here.com/infopop/em...n_rolleyes.gif

Just think of how many virus-laden emails you're going to receive if group members are allowed to cc the entire membership.
I hope you used a throw-away email address.

Answer
I found out that you can block whether or not you can receive the group emails. Under preferences.

Yes, you can block the emails under preferences... however I STILL got one, even after blocking the damnable things.
I made the mistake of joining a trading assistant group that has about 800 members already. LOTS of people were using the email all members feature to announce their arrival in the group. http://community.here.com/infopop/em...n_rolleyes.gif
I can't believe some Andale yokel actually spammed a group on eBay. What a doofus. http://community.here.com/infopop/em...n_rolleyes.gif

Answer
Some Andale competitor, or even eBay employee, intending to make Andale look bad?
