Thanks for sharing.

I think that’s probably a step too far, at least for now. Most of the auction house owners I know are honest guys. Several have told me they have never had access to passwords. Others have cleared it up and said it’s an option that SimpleAuctionSite.com can turn on or off. Obviously Bill Goodwin had it turned on.

What needs to happen is that Freedman needs to confirm it’s an option.

Then the various auctions houses using his software need to make clear that they do, or do not, have access to this info.

Then, old time auctioneers, like Bill Goodwin, need to stay far, far away from technology they don’t understand! Anyone who sends out plain text, unencrypted, passwords in emails shouldn’t be trusted with your info.
