Emails from someone else's account

[pocklingtonhistorygroup]

I have an email of firstname.surname@gmail.com

now ebay bombards me with purchases, orders and offers from someone’s account of firstnamesurname@gmail.com so without the dot. I get no other emails from any other source than ebay from this rogue address. Is this a bug in ebay’s software or system?

Maybe.

Why don't you simply block emails from Ebay to that email address?

Are you sure you don't mean you're receiving emails for this other, similar address?

If they're definitely coming from the other account holder, have you tried to contact them to sort it out? It sounds more likely to be a typo somewhere than a "rogue" account.

If this doesn't succeed, you will need to contact customer support.

The dot is a bug with gmail, I believe. Personally, I'd never use a gmail address.
