Does the seller know the identity (full ebay username) of all the bidders for a particular item? During the auction time or only after the auction closes? I presume that the seller at least gets some bidder identity info--or do the "second chance" offers get offered by the seller without full knowledge of the actual bidder identity?

Solution? Anonymize the bidders. Result: diminished visibility for bidders (reminder - ebay doesn't give a $#&$), more fees to ebay. This actually gets carried to insane heights where ebay monitors messages between potential bidders and sellers so that anything that HINTS of a transaction outside of ebay will not get sent. Of course the rule checker is absolutely painful. (reminder #2 - ebay doesn't give a #$#&$ as to making things easy) Report this Post to the Staff
