The "Bidder Code" letters also changes, it is not fixed on a given users id.

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Finding out who bidders are
Interesting ideas. If only I had the time and patience to work out the
list, like some of you have already done.
How about somebody stepping up and starting a webpage database of
"Who's who" in Business & Industrial / Electrical & Test Equipment
with listings like:
Bidder Code Score Rating on Date may be eBay
member
a***e 345 99% Sep 01 2009 "someguy99"
Perhaps some of it could be automated, altough the current eBay seems to
be so loaded with Java or other scripts running in my browser that even
just scanning the current listings myself is getting painfully slow.
A Firefox extension that implemented this would be very sweet.

When you combine the alias with the rating - e.g. k***u ( 862 ) - the
accuracy starts to resemble crosshairs in a sniper scope.

Yup. It helps to know that the masked bidder ID, liks a***f, stays
constant sale to sale. While there are only a few over 650 such
combinations, it's still pretty accurate on items with limited appeal.

Hi all;
It was nice back when ebay let us know who we were bidding against, if
you
were up a against some heavy hitter then why waste your time, etc. Now
it
takes a little more work to ferret out who you're up against. What I
have
done is to save the feedback page for a seller of an item I may have
been
out bid on. Usually within a short time the bidders feedback response
shows up on the sellers feedback page, compare the feedback score back
against the item page to check if you have the right person. Then from
that you can do a bidder search in "advanced search" and look at items
bid
on in the last 30 days to cross check. I then save the bidder's bid
page
in a folder, I have done that to most of us bidding time-nuts. Creepy
huh!?!
