Stop eBay Emails: How to Block and Unsubscribe

Introduction

eBay is one of the most well-known online marketplaces available today. But it's also a relentless source of unwanted emails. Search for an item once and prepare to be bombarded. eBay sends emails about offers, discounts, bids, delivery and tracking information - and that's just the beginning. Between constant notifications and promotional messages, your inbox can spiral out of control faster than you'd expect.

If you're looking to take back control, this guide covers three methods for stopping eBay emails: unsubscribing, adjusting your account settings, and blocking them altogether.

Unsubscribe From Ebay Emails

You can unsubscribe from eBay emails by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any eBay email. Keep in mind, this will only unsubscribe you from their marketing emails. You'll still receive administrative or transaction-related emails.

For more control over what eBay sends you, the next section covers how to update your email preferences directly from your account settings.

Stop eBay Emails from Account Settings

You can update your email preferences from the eBay account settings using either the website or the mobile app.

Updating Email Preferences from the eBay Website

  1. Go to ebay.com and log in to your account.
  2. Open the Communication Preferences page by going to this link.
  3. Disable all the emails you don't want to receive from eBay.

Updating Email Preferences from the eBay mobile app

  1. Open the eBay app.
  2. Click My eBay at the bottom.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom and select Settings under Account.
  1. Go to Emails.
  1. Disable all the emails you don't want to receive.

Block eBay Emails With BlockSender

In some cases, eBay may still keep emailing you even after you opt out of its emails. This may seem like a dead end, but remember, you always have the option to block the emails.

This is why tools like BlockSender exist. With BlockSender, you can stop spam emails once and for all. It even lets you automatically delete emails from the Trash folder.

You can follow these instructions to install Block Sender and start blocking unwanted emails from eBay:

  • Install Block Sender for Gmail. The installation won’t take long. Open Gmail when it is done.
  • After signing up for a Block Sender account and linking your Gmail account to Block Sender, open the unwanted email from eBay, and click the "Block" button on the messages toolbar.
  • Select the "Emails from this sender" option.

Once this is done, you will no longer receive emails from that eBay email account. Although you should know that if you ever decide you want to start receiving their emails again, you can simply unblock the email.

Conclusion

eBay emails can quickly get out of hand, but you don't have to put up with them. Whether you choose to unsubscribe, adjust your account settings, or block them entirely with BlockSender, you now have everything you need to take back control of your inbox. Start with the account settings option for the most control, and if eBay keeps sending emails anyway, BlockSender is your best line of defense.
