Re: Why the hell does eBay know this?
That IS a little creepy.
Besides, I wouldn't be able to answer square footage and acreage.

Re: Why the hell does eBay know this?
I'm sure that stuff is available somewhere publicly, or at least they received the information legally. I don't know the square footage of my home, or the size of my yard.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong though, that's a little off-putting. Last edited by Kekeb; 12-28-2008 at 11:24 AM.. |

Re: Why the hell does eBay know this?
there are websites that have this information for almost all addresses. i forget the website, but i remember Whorli looking up all the houses either one of us has lived in so that we could view the aprox value of the house as well as the stats.
also, i'm sure you could use google earth/maps and some image recognition algorithms to calculate stories, acreage, and square footage.

Re: Why the hell does eBay know this?
big brother is Ebay? That's pretty awkward if that was the case...
Edit: https://www.intelius.com/ holds a lot of information, maybe they supply a lot of companies with the background checks like Ebay and whatnot. Last edited by Red_Comet; 12-28-2008 at 11:47 AM.. Reason: found a link |

Re: Why the hell does eBay know this?
Even if that info's public, it's still pretty unnerving to know that faceless people you've never met can easily find out lots about me.

Re: Why the hell does eBay know this?
There is nothing creepy about that at all. He asked you simple questions and it didn't signal they knew anything out of the ordinary.

Re: Why the hell does eBay know this?
That must have been what they were testing...
If you're creeped out by this, then you're obviously not trying to steal somebody's account.
