I'm a seller of digital files and software so there's no shipping needed, How do I hide my address from buyers?

Clearly it is possible (as noted earlier) for services, and when there isn't something tangible being sent by post / delivery service.

 

I find it odd that if buying on Ebay through PayPal, the sellers address is never given to the buyer, which I consider a major problem, as it would go some way to ensure the seller knows not to try to defraud the buyer.

 

As a buyer I would find it suspicious if a seller was unwilling to have their contact details available.  It makes me wonder if they have something (fishy) to hide.

Well, you have to remember. Some people do art commissions online. As in digital art. No need to have an address shown. I myself feel rather uncomfortable knowing that whoever purchases a piece of my digital art through paypal they suddenly have my address. In fact, it makes me unnerved enough to want to delete my account.

Hey Finissin,

 

You need to have a Business Account.  No email address is displayed unless you want it to be.  Business Accounts allow you to display a company or group name.  Personal Accounts and Premier Accounts display your email address.  This is by design and cannot be changed.
