For the record, Chris did not access the seller's information by any backdoor means. The information is freely available once a transaction is completed, which is how he got the info:
Any buyer or seller can request the contact information for the buyer or seller after a transaction is complete. That is what I did. I did not "hack" or use internal methods to acquire his information. I clicked a button on our website. This is what you use to contact a buyer.. notice the bottom part: http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/contact.html To request your seller's contact information: 1. Click the Advanced search link at the top of most pages. 2. Click the Find contact information link in the Members section on the left side of the page. 3. Enter the seller's user ID and item number. 4. Click the Search button. Thought I'd set the record straight.

Is this the way you would want your information broadcast? There are processes in place for deceptive sellers which should have been used. I know I won't be relying on eBays privacy policy any longer. I will forward your email to eBay along with my request for flushing my info thanks to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Tejera" <saguaroas...@cox.net> To: <amsat-bb@amsat.org> Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 7:22 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] FunCube Dongle on Ebay > All, A few days ago I warned of a seller on Ebay who, after not > getting his > hoped for price from my friend, sent him the dongle, but only after > taking a > hammer to it.
