Hidden identities

Agutka

This is taking the wee wee. I have a buyer who has a "username", obviously. His registered address on Ebay is "username", 5 High Street, Town. How trustworthy can you have to be not to use your real name? Haven't had a problem though, PayPal payment was prompt. And guess what. "username" is his name there too. CONFIRMED!!
Now, there have been people who had to go to extreme lengths to prove things to PP. Confirming your address to PP is done by registering your credit card, to prove you are who you say you are. This guy has a CC in his "username"? How do people get away with hiding their identities?

He's probably a business so his bank account, CC etc. will all be "username"

I had a buyer once who's registered address was: 1 mad house,here,ss1 1ss. Needless to say they turned into a npb so i reported them and they got suspended.

He's not mentioned in Companies House.... I thought every company would be named there - first place I checked.

I'm a business, though not Ltd so all my info will be MSE TROO'S CARDS but you won't find me in Companies House

That's not my real biz name BTW :rotfl:

Would you be findable (is that a word?) on the internet? He's not.

I have an ebid shop, I googled my name and only had one result - for the shop.

If I didn't have the shop, I wouldn't show up at all.

I used to list for an ebay seller, all his details are USERNAME as well. (I've only just rememered that :rolleyes: )
