Re: [BaadAssGremlins] The 'Bidder' freaks on ebay

Yeah, I thought this rather weird too. What is the big deal? This makes it real easy for someone the seller knows to artificially inflate the price with no chance of being discovered by a real bidder. I could see if we were talking about a rare, extremely expensive item. But a car??????????

This is not for all auctions on ebay. The seller can request a private auction and the bidders are not listed. I like to know who I'm bidding against. If you check there are still the regular auctions going on also. Paul in Detroit

This is a new policy from eBay. They don't show the bidder's eBay names to
everyone, just the seller. It's supposed to stop some of the scamming.
