Ken, I like this thread. Sue, I know what you mean about Kirby and
Michael. ;) Seriously though, sometimes I convince myself I NEED
it. It's like a rush that comes upon me, not unlike a hot
flash...then it's a done deal.

Hey Andrea, Michael (Patrick), and all:
I make it a point never to ask any of my friends what their ebay
name is so I don't have to feel guilty and if I do know their name
and outbid them anyway, I claim early stages of senility. If I
happen to be perusing Ebay and see Michael bidding on something, I
immediately outbid him, especially if he is bidding on something of
Kirby's. Kirby is my friend and I know Michael will keep bidding it
up until it's his. So, more money for Kirby (yea!!). I snipe at
every turn. If I want it, it's mine!! As Jack Lemmon says in The
Apartment, "that's the way it crumbles, cookie-wise" !!
Having fun with you all,
Sue in sunny Cal

Subject: Re: [MOPO] eBay is now hiding bidder screen-names!
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?
