Post purchase spam?

[kookiemaster123]

So I've had quite a few sellers contact me with something that is tagged as a "question" about a purchase but it's essentially spam. Something like:

(my name)

Thank you.
There is a big discount on this store

(url to their ebay store)

SAVE $5 WHEN YOU SPEND $10
Only a week.
No condition,No limit.
Go ahead and Good Luck!

And it also seems to be automatized ... because when I asked the seller not to send these again, I get the same message.

Are sellers allowed to do that?

Yes, eBay allows it.

But Canadian law does not.

I doubt that Chinese law forbids it  though and that note was written by a native Chinese speaker , in my opinion.

Just delete them.

Some buyers will put such sellers on their Blocked Bidder List, to remind them not to buy from them again but I doubt this is useful.

Certainly, answering only encourages them.
