I won't vote in the poll because I don't think my response to the question is really represented.

Privacy should be kept between buyer and seller except in two instances: 1, if the buyer acknowledges the sale first, and the seller responds; and 2, if the seller privately contacts the buyer before making the post.

For example, in the case of #1, if I was raving about the great service from dogrockets.com and the owner of that website was a member of this BB, I think it would be fine forMr. Dogrocket to acknowledge the sale with a "thank you" or something to that effect.

And in instance #2, if I was the owner of dogrockets.com and I had a good relationship with another member of this BB, I'd simply PM him and ask if I could make mention of the transactions in a post, such as "Coventrycat has made some orders from me and has been pleased with my prices and service" or whatever.

I don't think any mention should be made of what was ordered, who I supposedly spoke to on the phone, where I shipped it.......that's just common sense and respecting someone's privacy.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming....
