Etsy users: Unannounced Privacy Settings Change

Mar 15, 2011 08:50

I know I don't post much, but privacy settings really get my goat. Easy changed privacy settings of all it's users without notification. You are now searchable by email with your real name coming up. Additionally when you are searched by name or email it shows your purchase history even if you have not left feedback. Furthermore you are searchable on google by real name to show purchase history.

Already changed my privacy settings, etc.
