For this one. You can see the bidder's name http://cgi.ebay.com/Marmit-Para-Baby-cr ... dZViewItem But for this one, you cannot see anything! How do we know it is not shill bidded by the seller ? http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-LIONEL-BALT ... dZViewItem Strange. |

Quote: As the internet evolves, eBay continues to strike a balance between preserving transparency and protecting our Community of members. eBay has decided to change how bid history information is displayed so bad guys cannot target bidders with fake offers using this information. In certain cases, some bidders will no longer be able to view Bidder User IDs on the Bid History page. Your User ID will be shown only to you and the seller of the item you're bidding on. Other members will see an anonymous name, such as Bidder 1, applied consistently to the Bid History page. Thats what ebays says! |

I don't like it - eBay controls what it wants to because it can as the defacto monopoly that it is. Shill bidding is against the rules but unless caught, it benefits the seller and with the final value fees, eBay itself too so there is definately a conflict of interest with this new policy. There is now no easy way to determine who is shilling, who is playing games and which are the valid honest higher priced auctions. Case in point, try and figure this one out!! http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :MEWA:BIDN |
