    That's unusual. They used to only do it for auctions that went above about $100. Maybe they got some good feedback to it, and decided to do it to all auctions.

    My biggest concern is going up against a powerseller. Basically guys who buy up big lots. I just don't want to go into a bidding war with one of them with no idea that I am. I have won against them several times but other times I just pull out cos it's just outta my tolerance.

    Wow that only just changed. My wife was bidding on Saturday and you could still see the names then.

    Mmmm, yes, it seems to have been done across the board now.

    It's become shill bidding paradise now. Have a look at a "bidder" s history, and it lists the sellers they bidded on as seller1, seller2, etc. They should have made sellers names available to figure out shills.

    I have noticed though that if you bid, they'll then show the other bidders ids at the end of auction, but all you then have to do is have private feedback on an account like the very one I just saw. The "winner" had hidden feedback.

    So, any decent ebay alternatives out there?

    I'm in the middle of bidding on something in the U.K and it is still showing peoples I.D's over there at the moment. I like looking at peoples feedback to see what they have bought lately and for how much, the last couple of items I have won had people that bought a bit of everything which to me meant they were resellers of items that they could get at a low price. This gave me more confidence to bid on some items.
