On Haveno-Reto, in cash by mail offers, is it possible to see the online username of the seller (and thereby know their Local Monero reputation) prior to choosing a seller?

I'm just starting to learn Haveno. When you hover the cursor over the seller, all you get is a "Maker's onion address". I realize that the whole purpose of Haveno is for both buyers and sellers to be anonymous, but I'd be more likely to use the service if I recognized the name of a trusted seller from localmonero. I know several of them are trading on Haveno, but I can't tell who is who. So I guess I'm asking if there is a way to find the trusted seller's online moniker if they care to divulge it for the purpose of buyers being able to choose a seller based on their localmonero reputation.

Will monero.town consider not blocking tor exit nodes anymore?

I know there was a ddos attack a while back, but it would be nice to access and be able to log in to this site again using Tails/Tor without giving location away. Using a VPN after Tor on Tails is a security risk and is difficult to figure out how to install on Tails for most people. Beginning with it's creation and right up to the attack, Tor exit nodes weren't blocked. Now they still are. Opening it up again might increase the userbase. Using sites like proxysite.com via Tor only works to read posts here about 1 out of 10 attempts and never allows log ins here.

When purchasing Monero via Cash By Mail using an online shipping label service to print the label, what do you put in the From entry screen if you want to remain anonymous?

I got one good answer in r/localmonero, but I thought I'd seek other opinions here.

I don't want to use my own address. If I put some random fake "From" address and there's a problem with the seller receiving the package, will USPS try to return it to that address and then I lose the cash? Just wondering what the rest of you guys are doing to remain anonymous when using cash by mail to buy monero.

3 anonymous shipping label services are listed below:

BTW, https://coinship.pro, which advertised itself on r/monero and is still listed on monerica.com, now seems to be defunct.
