eBay has a zillion different servers; they aren't all updated at once for obvious reasons. Also, their changes tend to be rolled in incrementally as new listings appear.
My understanding is that within a week or two, unless eBay management comes to their senses, the list of bidders in all auctions will look like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190069406071 -- john, KE5FX -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bruce Lane Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 12:22 PM To: time-nuts@febo.com Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Austron 2202 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). _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
