I noticed that, but I don't think it's necessarily a good idea. I
mostly buy and if I want something a friend of mine is bidding on,
I'll sometimes let it go (depends on the piece, of course). Of
course, the sellers will say this is bad for business and they're
right. I still liked the option of standing aside for a bud.

Hey gang;
I just noticed that starting today, that "putting your name in
the room" means nothing... I guess it's now truly a 'silent
auction'... bidders' screen names are no longer legible, regardless
of the going-price... below is the new quote on all Bidding History
pages:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
To help keep the eBay community safe, enhance bidder privacy, and
protect our members from fraudulent emails, eBay has changed how
User IDs display on the bid history page. Only you and the seller of
the item can view your User ID, all other members will see anonymous
user IDs, such as x***y.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I guess as a bidder, I kinda like the limiting of fraud, however,
I'll miss putting my screen name out there because I truly felt that
it helped to link buyers to My Store with that silly little Red
Door...
What're y'all's thoughts?
