Are Enom reseller accounts safe?

[MicroGuy]

There has been some recent comment regarding the safety of second-level Enom reseller accounts. Can anyone provide some insight into the amount of control the master account holder would have over a spawned reseller account?

For example: If I buy a reseller account from a reseller and he "goes under", how would that affect my domains?

The best security would be to only buy a reseller account from an reliable ETP. Most ETP's offer free reseller accounts. So why would you want to buy one?

The renewal rates are tiered. If someone needed Enom API and lowest possible renewals, it would cost thousands for the top ETP reseller account. Right?

I am one of the ETP reseller,

and I am able to login all sub-account's but I am not sure if I am able to change any setting on a domain.

Before I owned a ETP account, I used below strategy,

Open an retailer account from eNom.tv (Account A) and also open an reseller account (Account B),

Account A used to stored all domain name and Account B are for renewal purpose only. I think it's better than leave all domains in Account B.

i am an enom reseller,

you have to load $100 at a time as a reseller and pay a little more than with retail.

i can see your names in the accounts and change some parameters

i can also renew names in sub accounts under my account

Be sure you trust the reseller above you as they can easily access your personal info on file, but also can login to your account and see items in your cart.. This can be a problem if your reseller is logging into your account and getting his/her hand reg ideas from there.
