Yeah, Wanting credit card info for a start up auction company seems unusual. When you don't know anything about a company to freely give your credit card info. But that's just me. I don't even see the bigger auction companies wanting that.

The registration form for Crazy Uncle Auctions is the same as the registration form for all other auction houses that use Simple Auction Software as their backend service provider. We have not made any changes or alterations to that standard form.

Just curious - how did you get my email address? I have received emails from your company and have never registered for any email notifications.

This has happened to me dozens of times. Someone out there must be selling or sharing email lists.

Just to put it out there once more, I have never, will never, and would never sell , or give out, any of the contact info from registrations. (unless it is something very extraordinary on an individual basis , almost always legal.)

I wonder if people realize that there is definitely shaky legal ground in selling an email list.

Email recipients have to opt in to a list. Consent has to be given. If a list is sold to a new company they have not received consent from anyone on the list unless it was stated up front by the list originator that the list may be shared, sold etc. to the parties before they opted in.

I have had people try and buy my mailing list and I did the research. Needless to say I haven't shared or sold. Sending an email FOR a third party is OK as long as it is from the original list compiler.

Shaky legal ground in stealing email lists too and selling them to auction houses.

Perhaps Aaron will tell us where he got all our emails. And no, it wasn't from Leon.

then you must not be bidding with them. the "bigger auction companies" all require some form of payment guarantee, usually via credit card.
