The bidders userid is never disclosed on any ebay auctions so I don't think that is the reason people choose to run "private" auctions.
-----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Thienes Sent: Monday, 15 September 2014 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] EBay private listings? Why? Why would a seller set up their auction to private (all bidders shown as 'private' including their eBay rating)? What is the benefit to this? As a potential bidder it makes me think the seller could be doing some shill bidding. Because of this I am very skeptical in getting in a bidding war with a private ebay auction. Your thoughts?
