I also find that running searches of the buyer's name on LinkedIn will often show you a person's employer / work history quite quickly. And if you are using a form that sends you the IP address of the inquirer, pop that into DomainTools or another IP lookup and it can expose some corporate buyers since their high speed lines have the IPs delegated to the corporation (though most times you just see an ISP like Comcast, AT&T, etc. which can't tell you much).

Always do some research, run the email address thru google, be sure you're not dealing with a scammer. If the buyer seems masked do a little digging, maybe you will realize it's a large company that's vying for your name and not the poor college student they say they are.
