when you click on browse to upload a document, what information about your computer is disclosed? can they see the path like c:/user/documents ?

They can see the path and any exif data

Yes they can but its a generic format and of no use to them. It cannot identify the machine.

As JN101 said, more chance of making links via the exif data.

well in theory it could link you to a banned account, no? I mean how many computers in the world are called c:/bobbylikes69/documents ?

Thats the user account

When running a stealth eBay you want to use a new user account anyway
