Amazon is telling people who use its wishlists feature to switch to post office boxes or non-residential delivery addresses if they want to ensure their home addresses remain private, as part of a change in how it processes gifts bought from third-party sellers. The change is especially concerning to many sex workers, influencers and public figures who use Amazon wishlists to receive gifts from fans and clients.
First spotted by adult content creators raising the alarm on social media, the changes open anyone who uses wishlists publicly to increased privacy risk unless they change how they receive packages.
In an email sent to list holders, Amazon said beginning March 25, it will reveal users’ shipping addresses to third-party sellers. The platform added that gift purchasers might end up seeing your address as part of this process, too.
that’s how I understand it as well. but I’m not familiar with using wishlists or Amazon anymore so I can’t be sure that’s what it means
but, uh, yeah this seems fine?
they’re adding functionality by allowing wishlists to use third party sold items. you don’t have to use third party sellers, just don’t put those on your list
as long as this is clearly explained and identifiable on product pages, and it can’t change without you knowing about it and having time to respond, this seems fine?
