Yesterday I got a call on my cell phone stating that a person had a question about an item I had for sale on my website and left a phone number.
I ignored it, thinking it was a mistake.
Then today I get a message through eCrater that a person is asking about a bag I have listed there (wanting to know if it really is brand new and authentic). I replied. Then I looked at their signature (has their full name, business, location, and #) and I realize that is the same number that called me yesterday. So I call her.
She thought I was a business. I explained about eCrater and Bonanzle as potential eBay alternatives. Commented that since the purse or eCrater wasn't mentioned yesterday I thought it was a joke or a mistake and ignored the call. She stated when she clicked Buy it now that my phone number and address were listed.
I went to eCrater and couldn't find this information (they had my old number). Then I went through the checkout process and realized that Google Checkout (I didn't remember to remove it as a payment method) was giving out this information. I went to my GC account (which I still haven't closed) and modified the information. I don't want anyone to have my cell number AND unless they have actually completed the purchase I don't want anyone to see my address.
So, FYI- even if someone hasn't bought an item from you GC still shows them all that contact information.
She seemed really interested in the bag so hopefully it pans out.
BTW- she found it by Googling the name of the bag.
