FYI Mark, I received an unsolicited email (at the email address I use for eBay) from the same person this morning, via eBay's mail service. The particular email I received was fairly innocuous. Normally I just hit the Delete key and move on. But it does appear that the sender is touting his auctions via broadcast emails. Email reproduced below:

Good Morning.
I am sorry for this E-mail, I just thought you may be interested in some Chips from 2 Indian casinos: Foxwoods (The Biggest in western Hemisphere) and Mohegan Sun (The Most unique) They both located in CT.

eBay does not tolerate spam (i.e., unsolicited commercial email) and is
taking steps to protect members from this abuse. In addition, solicitations
to buy or sell items outside of eBay violate eBay rules and are not covered
by services that protect members such as feedback, insurance, escrow, and
dispute resolution. If this is an offer to buy/sell items outside of eBay,
