PSA: The Amazon wishlist doxing threat is much greater and more immediate than folks might realize. Attack works like this:

Stalker who wants your address opens an Amazon seller account and lists themselves as a third party seller for any item on your public wishlist. Then, they order the item from themselves as a gift for you. Bam, they have your address.

In particular, attack does not depend on an existing third party seller having poor PII handling hygiene, like the articles have implied.

@dalias was this not already possible? like i'm not sure how wishlists would work if the seller didn't know how to ship the product?
@azonenberg Previously you could select that you only accept gifts fulfilled by Amazon. They just took away that ability.

@dalias aha, ok.

I miss when amazon was a way to buy books directly from them and that was it...

@dalias (and I also hate the tendency of everything from walmart to digikey to turn into a "marketplace" lately. At one point you could buy oscilloscope software options on walmart's website because TEquipment had a storefront there)
@dalias just make a store to sell your products, and let me know i'm buying from you, a company i presumably trust to some extent. that's it, do one thing, do it well
