Where the heck do these people keep getting my email address from? I must get at least 6 offers a day from spammers asking me to "make me an offer" on an ENDED item that they claim to be the seller of. I have already emailed the seller inside ebay who told me he never offered it to me for less then it sold for.

Anyway, does anybody know how to make my email address private or something?

No, of course not. I contacted the sellers directly by logging in through another window and asked them through My Messages if they gave me an offer. When I got Nos back, I simply started deleting them without even opening them.
