For ebay users:Does ebay disclose personal info such as physical address/phone# to users u buy from/sell to?

Yes. If you give your physical address to eBay and either the buyer or seller wants it they can get it. They simply have to click on get contact details. And your address and phone number are emailed to them. If this happens you will also receive an email with their information and letting you know that someone has requested your information. The information is only given out to people in which you have a sale associated with. After about 90 days(or so) after the auction is removed from the website they can no longer request your information. But long story short: YES.

No.  Let them bid and win the auction.  At the end of the auction if they are the high bidders then the payment information they need will be available.  \n\nDon't forget that ebay and paypal have very important personal information like bank acct numbers and credit card numbers...there are a LOT of people trying to get access to accounts to steal either merchandise or money and leave someone else to pay the bill.  \n\nDo not share unnecessary information ever.  They do not need that information to bid.\n\nIt is far easier to prevent theft than to remedy it.  Be safe and good luck with your auctions!

Don't give them any personal info. Sounds like a phishing scam to me.

I get the actual real e-mails.  This one is a fake.  The domain name of the sender should also be "paypal" not "consulta..."\n\nPaypal will let you know when somebody has paid you (it will already be in your account).  After that, you can enter a shipping/tracking number if you want to but they don't force you to in order to keep the money (they use the tracking to inform the buyer the item is on the way and to resolve disputes if the buyer said they never received the itme).\n\nI'd send the e-mail along to the eBay Spoof E-mail people, spoofATebay.com (just change "AT" to @ and make sure there are no spaces).

You need to ask the person who sold it to you because they are the one's responsible for shipping it to you. Depending on how they shipped it, there may or may not be a tracking number.

Ebay is the only one that has that credit card number.  The person you are buying from will never see that information.  Ebay will charge you credit card and then transfer the money to the sellar

Do Not Panic!\nIf you respond to these SPOOF emails, that's when they get you.\nThey are bluffing & want some of your personal information.\nDO NOT RESPOND!\nGo to ebay's community & you'll get your answers there.\n\nAnd if you have a number for ebay... I would love to have it! \nAs far as I know, eBay doesn't have telephone numbers. Everything is done via internet. [it's an internet service] \n\nDo not call anyone [ebay] & do not give any information to NO ONE!\n\n\nGood Luck!

Yes. Amazon.com is a secure website which will not share your billing information with anyone.. I have been shopping with amazon and eBay for a long time now. I also work for one of the high tech companies in the silicon valley and I can guarantee you that for companies so big, your trust and their reputation is too important for them to mess up on this part. They have many layers of protection to prevent thefts of information, let alone giving your info to someone voluntarily. They know they operate on trust and something like selling or theft of users' info would lead their business to shut down completely.\n\nAlso, as a side-note, make sure when you are led to any page on the web asking you for credit card or bank info, that the page url starts with https:// . This shows that the page is secure and the info cannot be intercepted by someone.

If you mean that you purchased a new computer, most manufactures have a website you can go to, to do this feature. It will ask the basic information (name, address, etc...) and what product you have purchased and possibly the date you purchased it as well.

Ebay doesn't provide a phone number unless your a Power Seller.\n\nGo to the home page and theres a yellow icon that says "live help". Click on that and you can talk with someone in IM/chat format.

Only if the users at other eBay sites choose to list items 'Worldwide'

Depends.\n\nTry this:\n\n1. In your browser, go to profiles.yahoo.com/XXXXXXX where XXXXXX is the e-mail address without the @yahoo.com.  This will show you what the e-mail account holder wants publicly visible, so it may not say.  But if the person wants you to know their address, it'll be there.\n\n2. Google the e-mail address.  Anybody whose e-mail address is visible through a google search is making a big mistake (but can't always fix it), but in the mean time you might find something.

EBAY... buyer beware!

There's no way to know for sure if a person on Ebay is honest or not.  However, if you are buying from a person with a lot of positive feedback, it is unlikely that they will jeopardize their business's reputation for the sake of a single scam sale to you.  If the person has little or no feedback, it's anybody's guess.  \n\nThat and of course the old adage that if it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.  Check with other similar items that have already sold and see if the asking price is out of whack with other "completed" items. \n\nOverall, I have had very good luck with people on Ebay, but just like Yahoo Answers, there's always a few people messing things up for everybody else. . .

I haven't followed eBay promotions lately, but I experienced in the past that they send you an email like "free listing on <date>", but when you actually click on "details" and read the whole thing, then there are lots of "if-s" and "but-s". Like "Buy Now" being excluded, or certain categories, or if you add a photo and bold headline then it's the usual price, and so on.....
