Thanks!

Sorry, can't see anything obviously wrong with the email. It would certainly seem to be sent from a proper Amazon addy, [email protected] via their own SMTP, but as I say these can be forged.

You haven't joined any campaigns, have you?

Interesting that item is being sold by the same seller, Wayfair, on both eBay & Amazon. Wonder if they have something to do with it. Anyway I have browsed it on both, so will see if I get an email & to which email addy.

Campaigns? Not sure what those are, so probably not
I have nothing to do with any social networking etc.

Interesting what you say about the same seller of those being on both sites!

I don't have the first one, but I'd been looking at a particular brand of trackpants on the manufacturers Ebay shop, then got an Amazon email a day or so later but it had the same make plus others included. I deleted it because it annoyed me

Something else that I find a bit irritating, particularly because it's a company I respect, is the fact that if I look at things on John Lewis's site but don't buy anything, I've occasionally had an email thanking me for visiting their site and showing some of their new stock items!
I don't think I logged in on every occasion, but it does feel a little annoying even if it's perhaps only an automated system.
I think if it happens again, I'll get in touch and tell them I don't find it in keeping with their standards.

Again I've never had anything like that from John Lewis and I browse them a lot, but hardly ever logged in so they won't know my email. Whereas at Amazon & eBay I am invariably signed in. Cuz from those I can only buy online, while with JLP I go to the local store for the items & prices I researched online.

By "Campaign" I was just going by the Amazon From: addy and wondered if it meant some sort of marketing campaign you may have signed up for.

Which bit you referring to?

Ah! I've purchased from JL's site ever since it appeared ..we don't have a store nearby.

I still like them a lot though, but if it happens again, I'll tell them I don't care for the practice.
They seem to have their new site up now, so perhaps it's set up a bit differently and won't make such scrutiny obvious.

No, not signed up to any marketing stuff from Amazon.
I tend to delete marketing emails without reading them unless I'm particularly interested.

Thanks.
There's a lot on that page and it's late ...is it a specific section - I'll read it tomorrow

If it's any help... I too am seeing the same thing as well!

...is it a specific section.....

Usage.... And the link to their privacy policy.

Doesn't explain why some get these emails and some don't, and the cross-fertilisation from eBay.
