"Bid with confidence. Our auction software provider has turned off, at our request, our ability to see your proxy/ceiling bids. "
We use the same system as BST and others who instruct simple auction site to turn off ability to see maximum bids.
I believe Leon has his site set up the same way.

Ken is 100% correct. He asked from day one to never see anyone's max bids, passwords, email addresses etc.. In fact, every auction house cannot and has not seen any of their max bids for the last 5 or 6 years. BST actually came up with a name for it but all of our customers cannot see their max bids.
Only the two owners of the company (myself included) can turn this feature on or off. No one to date has ever asked us to temporarily or permanently turn this feature off.
