eBay

I apologize to anyone who may be offended here. If you are, just don't answer my question.

Are you a male or female?

Personally I don't like it when I reply to these posts and refer to a member here as "they", "that person", or by their screen name every single time. Is it weird for eBay to have that choice to display this in our profile pages, or is that illegal?

Btw, I'm male.

No problem for me, I am female.

I can't see how it would be illegal, but I'm sure eBay just leaves it as a matter of personal preference. Some posters use a selfie as their avatar, so it's pretty obvious...

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did. - Thomas Sowell

and then again it sometimes is not, as in the case of "lisa" and "big discounts"

Yea I remember. Every 15 minutes some goober would always type "a/s/l?" Which means age/sex/location. And I agree. I think it was for the meat market. So yea.... a/s/l everyone?

I'm female, Faith. Cliff is my husband. His name is just not that common, I guess, because when I have to call eBay I can tell the offshore rep that I'm Cliff ( learned that the first time they wouldn't help me because account is in his name, but I'm the only one who uses it since I usurped it for selling).
