I'm new and I always thought its no ones business who bought the coin. The price it sold for is the important part not the who. Also, I feel on my feedback profile, people don't need to know my spending habits. Sometimes too much information is not good in these days of computer scams. What's to prevent a seller from viewing buyers spending habits and contacting them with offers. This would be my concern about having my purchasing habits public. When I buy my groceries, it's not put up on the stores bulletin board for everyone to see. It's a private matter between me and the cashier. I'm also just learning about shill bidding! Is it that big of a problem?

The very notion of a private auction to protect bidder info is ludicrous. At one time it could- when ebay let us see who was bidding. We can NEVER see any bidder info at all- even after the auction ends when the seller and buyer exchange feedback, the name still appears like i***2. So, the only reason a seller chooses a private auction today is to shill bid- period end of story.

ebay is extremely lax regarding shill bids as it greatly increases revenue. The only time I am aware that ebay got involved in investigated shill bidding is when the FBI forced the issue regarding a stamp dealer shilling ring a number of years ago.
