<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
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.
<h2 id="unsubscribefromebayemails">Unsubscribe From Ebay Emails</h2>
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.

When you read the privacy FAQs about Monster, you notice that (luckily) they won't sell or share your email and other information without your consent. Although (unfortunately) at the time of this writing, if you respond to an ad, publicly post, or sign up for their partner offers, you give consent on the spot.
Also note, their database of resumes has your email information for employers to check out. So basically anyone posing as an employer can get to the full list of given email addresses. What this all amounts to is quite a list of people that are well within reach of your Gmail address in order to load it with whatever they felt like sending you.
If you ever find yourself getting lots of unwanted emails from either Monster or an employer, here is how you can stop them from reaching your inbox:
<ul>
<li>Install Block Sender for Gmail by clicking the &quot;Install&quot; button found in the upper right-hand corner of this site. The installation won't take long. Open Gmail when it is done.</li>
<li>After signing up for a Block Sender account and linking your Gmail account to Block Sender, open the unwanted email from Monster or the employer, and click the &quot;Block&quot; button on the messages toolbar.</li>

One of the interesting parts of Change.org is the mention of &quot;how they hate email clutter just as much as you do&quot;. Yet, Change.org causes it just the same. Change.org has a privacy policy, which gives details on how your email address and other information about you is collected and used. More specifically, and in short, how it's used to send you advertisements.
There are many cases in which the emails sent to you by Change.org could be important, so be cautious when blocking them, and we'd recommend trying to unsubscribe from offer emails before blocking them with Block Sender. But this isn't always possible, and they may still be loading your Gmail account with lots of useless and/or annoying email.
Here is how you can get rid of their emails:
<ul>
<li>Install Block Sender for Gmail by clicking the &quot;Install&quot; button found in the upper right-hand corner of this site. The installation won’t take long. Open Gmail when it is done.</li>
<li>After signing up for a Block Sender account and linking your Gmail account to Block Sender, open the unwanted email from Change.org, and click the &quot;Block&quot; button on the messages toolbar.</li>

WhatsApp is a well known messaging app for many different platforms. Although it's a very popular app with many users, the downside is that users can end up with spam in their Gmail in the form of scam emails and/or phishing attempts.

Though scammers will try their best to send you fake emails that look like it's official communication from WhatsApp. If you're careful, you'll hopefully be able to tell the difference between a legitimate email from WhatsApp and a phishing email, but it's not always that easy.
Yes, there's a lot to it and more often than not, the scam/spam email will infect your system one way or another.

OkCupid is a well known free dating site. The spam starts with them sending you an email telling you that &quot;you're hot&quot;. Then they send you an email telling you that you've been added to the &quot;most attractive&quot; list of members. It certainly doesn't stop there since the owner of OkCupid also owns various other popular websites. So your email address can float pretty far and wide. As a result, your Gmail account receives a flood of spam from all over the place.
To help prevent these emails from getting to your inbox, follow these instructions:
<ul>
<li>Install Block Sender for Gmail by clicking the &quot;Install&quot; button found in the upper right-hand corner of this site. The installation won't take long. Open Gmail when it is done.</li>

<li>Select the &quot;Emails from this sender&quot; option.</li>
</ul>
It may be possible to unsubscribe from these emails from within your OkCupid account. But given that your email is shared with other websites, and given how aggressive their email campaigns are, this may not actually help, but it's worth trying out.

How to Block Fake/Scam Emails from the App Store

Attempts to gain personal information from you by pretending to be from a legitimate source are known as phishing scams. In the case of Amazon, it's actually pretty common for someone to try and send you a fake email that pretends to be from Amazon.
An example of this is when an email tells you about a purchase you didn’t actually make, which tries to get you to click on their links and enter your credentials in a fake Amazon login page.
Other examples include requests to update payment information or requests for any kind for personal information and/or login information. Chances are, it’s a fake/scam if the “from” line in the header doesn’t contain “@amazon.com”. Do note that you should also report such fake emails before you block them.
While there are a lot of Amazon scams out there, Amazon itself does send quite a few emails to your account as well, like product alerts or other advertisements. If you want these to stop, then it's best to unsubscribe using the settings in your Amazon account, but if for any reason that doesn't work for you then you can also try out these instructions:
<ul>
<li>Install Block Sender for Gmail by clicking the “Install” button found in the upper right-hand corner of this site. The installation won’t take long. Open Gmail when it is done.</li>
<li>After signing up for a Block Sender account and linking your Gmail account to Block Sender, open the unwanted email from Amazon, and click the &quot;Block&quot; button on the messages toolbar.</li>
<li>Select the &quot;Emails from this sender&quot; option.</li>
</ul>
Once this is done, you will no longer receive emails from that Amazon email account. If you ever decide you want to start receiving their emails again you can simply <a target="_blank" href="https://help.blocksender.io/how-to-unblock-an-email">unblock the email</a>.
