Default Amazon just accidentally leaked buyer emails

I logged into my seller account and noticed under reviews it have a column called reviewer email and listed were the actual reviewer emails rather than a hashed string@marketplace.amazon.com.

I checked my 2 accounts and managed to grab all of the emails (400 or so) into a spreadsheet before it reverted about 20 mins later.

Pretty bad mistake to make. I wonder if given the data I have whether I can decode new ones them or if its random with a lookup?

Becareful now... buyers on amazon don't like being emailed.
They just like to buy, then go .

So I'm not sure what you are gonna try to do here?
Care to tell us so we can give you more input?

Feed the emails into mailchimp and email them the link to his online shop. At least that's what I'd do.

However only if it's the real email and not the @marketplace.amazon.com email, cuz that might get ya ass banned.

Default Re: Amazon just accidentally leaked buyer emails

Having the email address of your customer on Amazon is useful for marketing purposes. About 20 % of my sales come from remarketing previous customers from other platforms but I can't do it with amazon as they hide the real email address.

They made a minor cockup temporarily making the real email address visible and now I'm wondering if it can be reverse engineered to provide the real email address for my entire database of Amazon customers.

It's not cost effective to call/email customers info about your online website.
