This topic maybe should have been posted in the Auctions Forum section, but since there's so many eBayers in the group who seldom look at the
ebay section, I'm posting it here in the Main Coin Forum.
I sent an email to Win Bent, the software developer of ToolHaus, the online site where a potential
ebay buyer may read only the negative, neutral, and mutually withdrawn feedbacks of any particular seller (or buyer; skipping all the positive feedbacks) asking if there was any means by which ToolHaus could show the negs via the
ebay Singapore site where "private" bidders and their associated auction numbers are not permitted. It took three weeks, but he sent me back an email with the URL which utilizes the Singapore site, also thanking me for the inspiration [/brag]. We now have a new tool to combat fraud. Here's the new site:
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs-sgThe limitations are that it will show only negative/neutral feedbacks Received (not Sent) without the mutually withdrawn feedbacks and when checking out a particular auction, the auction number needs to be clicked a second time if it's an
ebay North America (or other location) listing (can also be pasted into
ebay's Search function).
Here's an example of what comes up from one of our favorite sellers who lists all his auction bidders as "private" thus, until now, making an association between a buyer and the winning auction impossible:

ebay sellers in locations other than Singapore but will not reference auction numbers for sellers who keep their bidders "private":
