I wonder why these members that were so outraged that watchcount breached privacy laws are not concerned about ebay allowing anyone at all to see how much they have sold within a certain time frame through completed listings. Ebay give you no opt in or opt out yet you are not complaining about that.

 

Perhaps those members don't sell?


actually, eBay do give sellers an opt-in and opt-out option regarding display of sold/completed items . . . . . . it is commonly known as the User Agreement.

 

To opt-in, you accept and agree to the User Agreement.  This means you choose to sell on eBay AND accept that eBay will display your recently sold items.

 

To opt-out for display of sold/completed items you agree to the User Agreement but you simply choose to not sell on eBay.

 

It really is that simple, I'm surprised you didn't know this.

 

watchcount, however, opted everyone IN without member consent unless the member contacted them to opt-out.
