A: Because every time someone started bidding, their spam and phish attacks would shoot up 1000% or so and attempts to get people to buy stuff outside of Ebay sales would go up too. (many of them would be BS too) Last few times I posted stuff, I had people make me low ball offers if I stopped the auction before the sale finished. (it also cuts down on collusion) Whoever is doing the auction can see who is bidding.

All it says is Bidder 3 or Bidder 15 or whatever. Just curious. Todd _________________________________________________________________ Fixing up the home?
