Google Earth

[GrannyT]

I have just bought something on my buyer account and, as I had Google Earth open (to take a look at Bin Ladens compound) I typed in the post code of the person I have just bought from. No problems with that but I cannot help wondering, in view of EBs new privacy policy, if this is one more thing we need to factor into our activities - are EB going to be looking at where we are?

Why does it matter though, they aren't going to try and see us coming out the house on google earth :D

They could just use a basic address database to search addresses, why is google earth needed?

morning by the way

Morning hon

Bearing in mind I'm paranoid and one of the stealth techniques is to call something Suite 666 or Unit 123 is this something else to be concerned about?

Just wondered - that's all

pft, if PayPal couldn't find your address then they would just ask for proof of address wouldn't they, we know what to do then... :D

I would consider any public service that`s free to used by eb ay or pa yp al but google earth is a bit more intensive to look at ha

[GrannyT]

Like I said - I'm paranoid - I think they are out to get us all the time

^ My real house wasn't on google earth for about 2 year because they hadn't updated it, it was just a field, so that would be a factor. How up to date it is.

If Eb ay or Pa ypal ever use Google Earth on me.
They will see a bunch of huge shiny-tin letters on the roof of my house spelled out;

F*ck You E-bay!!!

Then I will proceed to show them my rear as I dance
to the tune of the "old" batman theme song, on top
of the roof of me house.

Do NOT tempt the satellite sponsored by eb ay with it's pinpoint laser of destruction that's floating above our heads ha
