Amazon to be "Doxxing" clients via Wishlist

Amazon announced a sweeping change to its Wishlist feature that will make users’ addresses available to third-party sellers, recommending they get a PO Box to protect their privacy.

Amazon’s Lists feature lets shoppers compile items they want to buy in easily accessible groups. These lists can be private (for personal use only), or public for anyone to see, as well as shared with other users for events like wedding showers or parties.

Previously, users could block items sold by third-party sellers from their Wishlists. But starting March 25, 2026, anyone can buy you items from any seller, including third-party sellers.

This means that when someone buys you something on Amazon from a third-party seller, your shipping address will be shared with them so they can ship the item to you. This also means that parts of your address will also be visible to them during shipping for tracking updates.

AmazonAmazon is making a massive change to its Lists feature starting March 25, 2026.

Amazon Wishlist change doxxes users, but it’s on them to protect themselves​

Amazon users with shared lists that include a delivery address were notified of this forthcoming change in an email blast on February 25, 2026.

“Starting March 25, 2026, we will remove the option to restrict purchases from third-party sellers for list items. When this change takes effect, gift purchasers will be able to purchase items sold by third-party sellers from your lists and your delivery address will be shared with the seller for fulfillment,” the email reads.

“This change will provide gift purchasers with access to a wider selection of items when shopping from your lists. Important note: When gifts are purchased from your shared or public lists, Amazon needs to provide your shipping address to sellers and delivery partners to fulfill these orders.”

This change alone isn’t what’s making customers upset, though; the platform went on to state that they are not responsible for protecting users’ address information, and instead urged them to use a PO Box or “non-residential address for any list you share with public audiences.”


Content creators, especially, are incensed about what this means for their privacy. It’s a common practice for influencers to share Amazon Wishlists with their followers; now, they’re advising their fellow creators to start using other services like Throne, a privacy-focused platform designed for entertainers to receive gifts from fans without revealing their address.

“This is absolutely bonkers! I also have a publicly viewable wish list for people to send me gifts, but I don’t want them knowing my address!” one wrote on Reddit.

“I wanted a wishlist for my stream, but I was afraid of exactly that: someone knowing my personal address,” another said.

Thus far, Amazon has not publicly commented on the concern from users regarding this change, prompting those with shared lists to seek other options.

I like when e-beggers suffer

 

[Xarpho's Return]

I only share my Amazon wishlist with friends and families, not strangers.

Every time I see some e-beggar's wishlist it's always some combination of video games and degenerate/gay shit.

"Yes, I would like one copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition, a "Trans People are Real People" shirt in XXL, long striped socks, a three-pack of Hanes Her Way panties in the largest size you have, a ballgag, and the biggest dildo you carry"

What's the "attack" here though? Set yourself up as an Amazon seller of something on the target's wishlist, and then have someone buy it from you to them, to get the dox?

They're making it sound like if you buy an item on a target's wishlist, you are somehow given their shipping address and other info. Why that would be a thing eludes me, since the actual announcement says they're making the information available to third-party sellers only (so as you describe -- only the seller receiving the money gets the address of where to ship the fucking thing).

Something else occurred to me ... why was it ever an option to hide your personal information from third-party sellers for a wishlist? How the fuck is somebody supposed to send you something you paid for if you don't tell them where the fuck you are?

God people are fucking retards.

It was never hidden from a 3rd party seller in the first place, you could just disallow 3rd party sellers to be bought from. Now that option is removed because Amazon wants to enshittify and move more chinkshit.

At first I read the headline and thought it was something that would concern me, but then I saw it was just e-THOTs getting patrolled, so w/e

Gotcha.

Meh. I dunno. Sounds like if you put something on a wishlist you want someone to buy it. Seems to me beggars shouldn't be fuckin' choosers.

Corps won't be satisfied till every aspect of your life is accessible for them to peruse at their leisure to sell you more shit you don't want, or need.

 

[Fucker Carlson]

I'm not sure if wishlists were ever actually supposed to be shared publicly or if it's just a thing people started doing for some reason. If you're just sending it to your sibling or something it sounds like you'll be fine.

This means that when someone buys you something on Amazon from a third-party seller, your shipping address will be shared with them so they can ship the item to you.

How is this doxing? Obviously the seller is going to need your address to ship the item... The actual problem is the lack of ability to remove third party sellers if you don't want to buy from some chink scam factory, not the idea that someone you are purchasing an item from knows where to ship it.

I think the author may have made a mistake in the article as the first sentence is different from the tweet and doesn't really make sense. The address would have always been shared with the seller for shipping.

If I understand correctly, the change that will make it different from before and debatably "doxing" is that the address will be shared with the person paying for the item from the wishlist, whereas before it was not.
