eBay is one of the worst companies with regard to sending you twenty e-mails when just one would do. Every little thing with eBay seems to require an e-mail, some of them they wont let you turn off in your communication preferences. For someone who signed into My eBay on a daily basis, an e-mail informing me that an item was sold is unneeded.

But they specifically disallow you from turning these off, for what reason I have no clue. I was reminded of this portion of my experience when I ran across the eBay Hell website, which chronicles one user’s attempt to get eBay to stop sending him “product surveys” to measure his satisfaction with the company.
