Posting of my email address

[JefferysJunction]

If I post my personal email address on the "Contact" page, will it be harvested by automated spammers?

Mine is posted all over the place
rarely do I have an issue
and I never have a spam filter.

You can do like many do and put some extra spaces like

Jeff@ blahblah.com (remove the space after the @)

I see that alot

I worried about that, too. So for our three shops, the Contact page says, "We welcome questions! Just use the "Ask Seller a Question" link provided with each listing."

I have the same concern, so I too recommend that those wanting to contact me will use Ask seller a question

I have been almost tricked many times by people trying to phish me by questions asked but I usually can tell a stinker when I see one now.
I have fallen for it a couple times and had to change a lot of contact email info and accounts connected to avoid the traps.

I will usually add to my listing and answer the question that way if it is a good question. They can always register and PM me and I would gladly reply to that.
Usually phishing questions are general questions just to get you to reply with your email address.
The bad guys don't spend much time reading descriptions.

I try to think a minute or two about the email I get before answering.
