In protest of Ebay's anti-spamming policies (or lack thereof), I created a special address -- ebay@mydomain.wherever -- that I used to bid in an auction that I lost exactly one time.
Today, that address gets 5-10 spams per day, although I have only once used it, and that time on an auction I lost. Still, spammers harvested and apparently now sell my email address.
So every time I get one, I forward it to safeharbor@ebay.com. I figure if *I* have to be annoyed at their failure to protect my email address, they should be too.
