Problem with precise location shown on account

[greatlakestate]

I just had a buyer close her account because her husband didn't like the idea of their exact location publicly shown on the account. Crime may not be an issue in the UK, but it certainly is in the US. Can anything be done to eliminate this information and show only the country and/or state (in the US)?

The map just shows the town/city and state - it's hardly an 'exact location'.

Ah yes!
I see you are in Lincoln Park,

Where is that precisely?

Only has a population of 38,000 plus - should be easy to find her. Well...if we knew her name, address, and had a photo.

I very much doubt that the information shown is close enough to an actual address for anyone to be able to find me. I would be much more worried about that information being on PayPal or Ebay because they have been hacked on there more than once. If you came to Boise with just the eBid information showing you would have a very hard time finding me.

My pointer isn't even in the right city

Agree with the above, not specific enough info. provided to find anyone I wouldn't think, unless you live in a veeeeeeery rural area.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

She had to close her account because *he* was worried? Yeah, right. I think somebody didn't like the missus spending money.

That would be my guess.

I think there was a change of heart in purchasing.
