Well John, I need to think about that one. If you click on the high bidder, you do get quite a bit more information than with the old system. Even though the information was available, it would have been hard to put it together. With this new system, they give it in summary form, so in that respect, it is an improvement and will help seller evaluate bidders, and may also help the serious bidder to understand better what he/she is up against, even though loosing the link to what another bidder may have bought and what he paid for it is a problem.
I guess maybe eBay felt that putting that much information in summary form for all to see was a little bit too much (if it had not been anonymous) and would have made many buyers uneasy. Do you know if the seller has more information about the bidders than what is available to other users, under this new system? So, there is some good and some bad, I am not sure which outweighs the other at the moment...
