Hi,

Mike, your message was a bright spot on an otherwise rather harsh day. I appreciate you mentioning the honor thing, my honesty and integrity are really my two most valuable assets. (There was a period when I was involved in a high-appeal business; I left that business, thereby losing a lot of potential income, because I wasn't willing to tarnish my integrity.)

Regarding the seller ID question, a well-known marketer has a banner in rotation on his main forum page that reads "[marketer's name] does ebay." If you click that banner you will jump to the marketer's eBay page on which is displayed his seller ID and the items he has at auction. [Proof available upon request.] So a seller ID isn't automatically Top Secret, especially since everyone who sees one's auction will know it.

Exactly right.

Thanks again!

Sincere regards,
