<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 2369536, member: 29751"]My overarching point is that there has to be part of the story missing here. Heritage had to have had his address or some other piece of information to make the linkage. The eBay account is not the important point here, but rather the payment method used to pay for the purchase. Maybe the account used to pay had his name on it, despite it being his "wife's account"...? Or maybe Heritage had his address information for his "browsing only" account, and he forgot he entered it there? Concocting some nefarious back story to how Heritage must have had ill intent to do such a thing seems a stretch to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's not as if Heritage sold his contact information to a 3rd party. People get all bent out of shape about things like this all the time, and I'm quite certain that in the details of what really happened there is a logical explanation. I wonder, does the OP also not use credit cards? Never shop at nationwide (or international) retailers? All of these types of transactions are open to being linked and data dredged by marketing analysts. I don't understand the immediate leap to how Heritage linking two accounts is somehow illegal or immoral.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
