Huh? I just checked one auction, just to see if this was accurate, and 
none of the bidder ID's were hidden.

        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.'

        Keep the peace(es).
