“When gifts are purchased from your shared or public listings, Amazon must provide your shipping address to sellers and delivery partners to fulfill these orders,” the email reads. “During the delivery process, your address may be visible to gift buyers through delivery updates and tracking information.”

That is not new. If a customer has a public listing and adds an address to their listing in Settings, gift buyers can receive the customer’s address through sellers and delivery partners who fulfill these orders as they share delivery updates and tracking information. The change is that customers will no longer have the option to restrict purchases from third-party sellers on their list from March 25.

how to take precautions
- Amazon recommends using a PO box or non-residential address for listings shared with the public.
-
You can also adjust the privacy of your lists to private or shared (the latter option specifying who can see the lists) to limit access.
-
You can also remove your shipping address by tapping on the “Shipping Address” field and selecting “None.” Apparently, the gift buyer will need to contact the wish list owner directly to get shipping information.
Creators of all types, from Twitch streamers to sex workers, use Amazon Wish Lists to receive gifts from their fans. At least one “PSA” is recommending creators “not get doxxed” and move their listings to Throne, a wishlist platform. On Thrones’ home page, it states that, “All creator and fan information remains private and is not shared between parties.”
