important safety/security concern if you have an accessible amazon wishlist and especially if you use it to receive things from internet people or other strangers: you can no longer disable sharing your address with third party sellers. These folks can and often do disclose it to the purchaser.

And, to be clear, anyone can be a third party seller on Amazon which means anyone can get your physical shipping address and full name with ease.

Despite what this email says, the Amazon list page says this functionality is already disabled thus you are already at risk ("This setting will no longer be supported starting February 25, 2026. After this date, third-party sellers will receive your shipping address to fulfill orders.")

This is bad. If you have any hope for privacy and do not use a PO Box, make sure to unshare your lists.

Snippet from an Amazon email saying they will dox you now if you use amazon wishlists. cool.

"You're receiving this notice because you have one or more Amazon Lists that are shared with others and have a delivery address set up. We're writing to inform you about an upcoming change to Amazon Lists. 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. 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. During the delivery process, your address may become visible to gift purchasers through delivery updates and tracking information. To help protect your privacy, we recommend using a PO Box or non-residential address for any list you share with public audiences."
