Link to see for yourselves: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=130068582446 Now, it IS possible that you may have seen a 'Private' auction, in which case the bidder ID's are indeed anonymized. However, I don't think Ebay is doing this as general policy. For the record: My own ID is 'bftbell.'
