Why are the user IDs kept hidden on some auctions? I know this can shield the identity of shill bidders but is there a legitimate purpose for this as well? I'm really interested in something but the user IDs are hidden. Should I automatically be suspicious or should I go ahead and bid what I think is a fair price and let it be? |

Bidder ids are hidden on all eBay auctions. It's a recent change by eBay. It's true that hidden ids aids shillers, but at least you now know that it isn't the seller doing the hiding. |

Thanks, that's good to know that the seller isn't automatically doing something shady, but if I ever get into a bidding war, I'd like to at least be able to check out the person I'm bidding against. |

I don't like the new policy. |
