Peter's right.

Since my eBay userid is an e-mail address, I get tons of these. I flagged so
many of the with Mozilla's bayesian spam filter that they get trashed
automatically, but occasionally it thinks that *actual* e-mail from eBay is
spam when it isn't.

eBay is forcing all members who have their e-mail address as their eBay userid
to change it by January 2004, otherwise eBay will assign them a new ID.
