Walter, I have no problem with your desire to let everyone know your
particulars. That's your personal business. I have a real problem when you
suggest that personal information be posted on a webpage for someone else's
auction. That info may aid you, but it certainly will not aid THAT user.

eBay has an Internal Communications System designed for eBay Bidders to
contact eBay Sellers & vice versa. It is not even necessary for a member to
know another's members email address. Simply use the system that eBay
created for this purpose in place. Contact occurs, if both parties wish to
communicate. It has been against eBay Rules, for some time now, to create
an eBay User name which is an email address or a "derivative" thereof.

The point made concerning your stolen .jpeg incident is exactly ONPOINT.
When you expose yourself on eBay with posted information, anything can
happen & it may turn out to be the worst. "Fair game" may turn out to be
something that know decent person would like.

SO, telling people who participate with an occasional auction to list all of
their personal data is an accident waiting to happen. eBay frowns on it &
hope that privacy will be maintained as much as possible UNTIL THE POINT OF
EXCHANGE.

... Meg hates getting sued & named in countless lawsuits.
