It was Krissie who gave me the response that both Rick and I posted here.
The bottom line is this.... I think the Sellathon program could defintely be useful. I simply do not like having information about my auctions shown to the whole eBay community without my consent or knowledge. When I chose to use the counter, there was no disclaimer that anyone who chose to click on the Sellathon link would be able to view stats about my auctions.
I guess that's something that Auctiva needs to address since they're allowing Sellathon to share our information without explaining exactly what will happen when you use the counters.
