New rules

[gndarh3pva]

When I buy from someone I need to know who it is, please don not continue to  further hide the sellers identity because your afraid you won't get you cut.

Most eBay sellers use an eBay name which they have chosen, and not their actual names.  However, the seller's REAL name appears on the shipping label when the item is to be shipped.

"please don not continue to  further hide the sellers identity because your afraid you won't get you cut."

I'm afraid that I don't understand that statement.  Are you referring to the eBay policy against sellers and buyers conspiring to make deals away from the eBay site?

Please explain your complaint a bit more clearly.

Guess it is a two-way street and sellers should know the real name of the buyers/bidders too.

What new rules? And I don't understand the rest of your message either.

No one here has any control over eBay rules.  One would think that someone with 5324 FB would know that.

"When I buy from someone I need to know who it is, please don not continue to  further hide the sellers identity because your afraid you won't get you cut."

Kind of ironic, from someone whose eBay name is "gndarh3pva."

Is that name from Tatooine or Hoth?

[gndarh3pva]

At least you would know what my percentage is and how good your experience was from a first buy. I can remember when a seller's location was printed with his/her name.  I am from Florida.

@gndarh3pva 

 "I am from Florida."

Okay -- but your eBay profile only indicates that your location is "United States" -- you have only NOW volunteered the information that you are located  in Florida.

And your profile does NOT include your REAL name -- only your eBay name.

And how does that prevent eBay from getting "their cut"?

[soh.maryl]

Wouldn't that information about you be available to me when I click on that (5324) after your name?

Why would your real name and address make any difference? I am from Ohio.  

[soh.maryl]

Do you notice that there are lots of posts here that are not easily understood? I mean, I am no genius, certainly, but I cannot figure out how knowing your real name and address etc would influence me in any way.

@soh.maryl 

Totally agree -- it's not as if most of us have access to Credit Bureau Reports.

Clearly my info is available to everyone. 

First name AJ. Middle is Coins. Last is Alchemy.

My profile pic is clearly pulled from my driver's license. 

Is the little number in parentheses my age? Or my weight? 🙈🙈

Completely transparent! And if you're further concerned, you have my residence on the return address on the shipping label. I reside in a 3" x 5" PO Box. It's cozy 😉 Part of the "Tiny Homes" trend

[soh.maryl]

This is exciting! I think I have the PO box immediately below yours, but a little larger.

Mine is in the category of "Almost Tiny Homes".

Sorry, I know this is a few (10) days late, but this...........

Seriously, funniest post on eBay to date!!!!

[soh.maryl]

Actually, I can find that information without knowing either your real name or address.

And I bet everyone else here can also.  

[soh.maryl]

Sorry-- I have no interest in finding out your real name or your address.

Even if I were actually buying from you, I still wouldn't care.
