I do have whois protection on all of my domains but that is to hide myself from SPAM EMAILS.

Yes, and that is one very real reason to use it. At the same time, when it comes to e-commerce, if I can't find solid contact information (something more than email) and then even their Whois is private, my "buyer's confidence" goes through the floor.
