I too have been getting a lot of ebay scams. The last
ones I noticed are questions on "what kind of payment
do you accept?" I picked up on this and would either
not reply or make sure that I click on "hide my e-mail
address" when I respond. Usually the person asking the
question has 0 feedback. I suspect that this is one
way that they get your e-mail address when you
respond. I know it's off topic but its a hot one
nevertheless since a lot of us use ebay.
