Hmm... Interesting thought.

I have gotten some spam for a very long time - well before I signed up for PayPal and eBay (but on the order of 3-8 pieces/week).

But I do get a lot more spam since signing up for PayPal and eBay buying/selling.

I have noticed specifically that some of the spam is from eBay (gathered from auction pages), but some may be from PayPal.

And, despite the fact that I have rarely used PayPal in the last few months, and not eBay at all, I still get way too much spam.

I don't think I really have much spam coming from other places. I did have some around a year ago when I was inquiring about getting a merchant account, but they were all about business services/webspace/e-commerce solutions/and merchant accounts.
