Title: How much info can a seller see when i place an order ?
Post by: mikewolf on January 27, 2013, 04:50 pm
Basicly, i'm curious to know wheater or not a seller can see older orders/older feedback left for other people i dealt with once i have placed an order with him.

Have you got something to hide?

They can only see yr username and stats.

Not really, i have this ideea in my head that if a seller would want to incriminate you he could use your previous purchases to do so. Paranoid and highly unlikely, i know, but had to ask.

The vendor gets the same information as the buyers give
Shipping address/delivery method (hopefully pgp'd)
What was ordered
Auto-Finalize rate/stats (to make sure you wish to do business)

That's about it.
Only really what is needed.

So wait, can a vendor see *what* my former transactions are? Or just that they are there?

Like will it say history: 5 transactions

or

History: 5 transactions

E-Book

Molly

etc?

They can't see the detailed version of your past transactions. Just a number.

My thoughts exactly.  I have noticed a few vendors state they only take orders from custies with 5 or more "non frivolous" purchases.  So it's on the honor system? Maybe all they really just need to see is that you have spent more than a trivial amount of bitcoin with relatively few purchases .

Yes they can see how much you have spent, so if the amount is too small for the number of transactions they ll know you bought "digital goods" or something.

Click on 'Account' on your SR home page.  Then click on 'Purchasing stats'.  That's the information the vendor will see in addition to what you enter in the address box.
