Why does eBay keep sending me “daily deals” emails

ebayspam-prevention

I changed my notification preferences on the eBay website to stop sending me spam some time ago. It does say that the changes can take up to 10 days, but believe me, I unticked everything well past that and still receive emails.

I have nothing ticked under "Promotions and Surveys":

It's really annoying!

I get these "Daily Deals" mails too; I think eBay mails them to any active eBay users.

Ebay's privacy policy is here as "Privacy Central"

(The privacy policy links to My eBay > My Account > Preferences > Notification Preferences but I don't see anything relevant there, mostly that's buying and selling emails you would actually want...)

Based on your screenshot, it looks like you're in My eBay > Account > Communication Preferences with the Promotions and Surveys heading expanded. In my case I did have some of those checked! I turned them off. Based on that, it seems you shouldn't be getting the emails, and you're in the correct place.

You might have to contact eBay support if the emails continue, or just set up a spam filter for them.
