I want to unsubscribe from the annoying emails that GB sends me, because I really don't care "where Bill O'Reilly's money went", and all of the other crap they send out multiple times a day. Problem is that when I click on the unsubscribe at the bottom of the emails it sends me to my preference center, but there is nothing there to click. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a support issue?? TIA.

    You don't want to read about Bill O'Reilly's money? What's the matter with you? Skip the email link entirely and go to the main auction page and your account information- AKA Account Dashboard. On the right hand side of the screen you'll see Communication Preferences. Click "view" and a new page will open with the title Preference Center. This is where GB wants to collect information to send you emails about listings, news, articles, and tips. Down at the very bottom of the page and hidden under the SUBMIT button, is a tiny heading where you can unsubscribe to GB emails. I hope you understand what you'll be missing out on if you unsubscribe.

    Interesting thread. Mark thanks for posting an answer. I do want to receive notifications such as ending soon, bid and out bid notifications, just not the extra marketing e-mails. So, for this do I click on only send me GB e-mails? Do they stop sending what I want if I click on unsubscribe?

    Edit: Never mind, I found the notifications tab and see there is a difference

    I realize this isn't the place to talk about this but Gunbroker Holdings is missing out on a goldmine, instead of selling ads for the garbage spam emails they send out they could do all sorts of good marketing with their email list.

    Featured auctions
    "Check out this cool Walker Dragoon a seller has listed starting at a penny on the 28th!"

    Top seller bios
    "Check out this lady from Locust Fork, Alabama that has turned consigning guns on Gunbroker into a lifestyle"

    Emails targeting people to sell of their unwanted guns, or accessories.

    New product launches from manufacturers

    Paid ads that aren't complete stupid crap, maybe from some of the manufacturers

    ETC, ETC, ETC.

    So many possibilities that are going wasted due to selling ads for absolute crap. It might even be too late since I don't think most people even look at them anymore.

    After I click on the communication preferences a new page does open up, but it's not the preference center, it's communication preferences with a separate line for item notifications and email notifications. When I click view on the item notifications, there are multiple choices to choose. However, when I view the email line it does send me to the preference center, but the only things I have to click on are either going to the forums, or the gb home auction page... It sends me to the same place as the unsubscribe link in the emails...

    I'll voluntarily help them if they were inclined to hear my suggestions.
