Any experiences or comments on bidder identification protection on ebay?! I am always worried that the bidding is sham bidding in these auctions, artificially raising the price? I actually look for bidders whom I have bid against in the past. This lends towards legitimacy, but also confirms what I am bidding on, others that collect the same thing are also interested.
Has anyone bid, or won anything with these bidder identification protected auctions? The seller of the Zonophone-A is doing that with that particular auction.

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> If you are referring to the bidders being listed as "Bidder 1", "Bidder 2" etc this is a new eBay feature. As I read it it will be the way all auctions are listed in the future. I have not looked into it very hard and I might be wrong.
