Hi there. I'm selling through a 3rd party site. People are purchasing my service, but their emails are not being shared. I have a page with my customer list, but the emails are shown as:
jan***@gmail.com

I am not a developer, but when inspect the site, this is what is displayed:

Is there a way to modify this so that the email isn't blocked with stars?

Thank you for your help!
 
It depends if there is any "show email" button implemented, and If so, how. Based on what you shown, I'm afraid it is not possible to get those emails (or at least you provided not enought information about this site). What you pasted is just ordinary text in "div" block, nothing fancy.

What other information is needed to determine if I could get these emails? What do you mean by "show email" button? Where would I find this?
 
I mean it depends on how the site is implemented. I don't know what site you are talking about. Based on information you provided, it is unfortunately impossible. I don't want to say that it can't be done, because there may be some bug on the site, or it may get hidden on frontend site and you can find full emails on request etc. But I doubt it. If the page was written by an experienced programmer and he wanted to hide these emails, you probably won't be able to get them.

I appreciate your help. I'm not trying to be secretive. The site is Groupon.

Sure, I didn't suggest that :P Never used groupon as a seller so I'm afraid that I won't be able to help there. You may try to open dev tools (F12 on chrome) and see If there you can find anything - maybe "Response" section after you click some requests with "Fetch/XHR" filter enabled. But as I said, I'm sceptical about it. If such a mature site wouldn't want you to know those emails, then you probably won't - it's fairy easy to implement unfortunately.

Thanks. I clicked F12 on chrome (it opened the same inspect tool)-- after that, you lost me. Maybe "Response" section after you click some requests with "Fetch/XHR" filter enabled.- I don't know what this means? If it's easy, I'll give it a try--but if it requires too much explanation on your end-- forget it. I don't want to ask too much of you. Thanks for your help.
 
It looks like this, I think screen is self-explainatory :)

But that was only an example. There are also other ways, like looking at JS scripts. Anyway, as I sad, I wouldn't expect much there. This thing is easy to implement in a correct way and owner of the site would really care not to show those emails to his clients.
