Reminds me of a line in a song, sung by Janis Joplin:
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose ...

It's worse than you know! They not only are trying to move ALL communication
(even after-sale communication) to being forced through their own system, but
they want to make it a "crime" to contact biders or buyers any other way than
through their system!
I USED to think having a dotcom user ID (emovieposter.com) meant something, but
now it really doesn't. And it is just a matter of time before they take those
away too.
It is like living in a ghetto 100 years ago. First the authorities take one
"right" away from the ghetto dwellers, and they say, "well, we can deal with
that" and then they take away another, and another, and another, until finally
no one has any rights left at all,

I second Kirby on this one. I used to throw in bids for good measure, just to
have my user-id show. Fortunately, I registered back in '99, when
filmposter(dot!!!)net was still allowed... I stopped doing this since they are
hiding the bidder names.
Did you notice, that at some point eBay has made it completely impossible to
contact a seller directly after you won an item? No more seller's email
address, and even retracking
contact data from eBay will give you the address and (sometimes) a phone
number, but no email contact.
Nowadays, Big Brother eBay wants to monitor ANYTHING.
Maybe it's just me, but I find this extremely annoying.

Not missing a thing. And bring back the transparency of the entire system -
where you can see the buyers, contact them etc. See who is bidding
against you etc. Sure, it might bring some communication between the members,
result in more than a few off-site deals, but it would be
better and probably more remunerative for ebay than the present morass.
