Like any good internet marketer, we have ways to see if a person has opened an email, which links they clicked on and more by inserting simple hidden code in emails. The hidden image is used to see if you open an email. There is extra code added to your links to see which links you click. And I'm sure there are ways to insert cookies to identify you. EBay does all of this I'm sure.
You have to be careful about opening eBay's mail. I wouldn't open them with outlook either. It's best to use one browser, I like firefox, to open and read your emails. Then delete the cookies afterwards, or do like ebayaintstupid and have firefox auto delete cookies.
ebayaintstupid, you're really thinking hard about this, I like that.
EBay is very complex, and yes they aren't stupid.
