    Ebay Question



    Lately I have noticed a plethora of Ebay "buyers" with names that have *** in the middle. These Ebay IDs have feedback that is not viewable, nor can you know where they are from. Can anyone shed any light on this? I wouldn't be surprised if these are online businesses that offer proxy bidding for sellers to bid up their stuff. Check this auction, for example. There is only one real bidder, and the boots ended up HIGHER than the original BIN price.

      Yeah, Ebay used to use bidder1, bidder2, etc. on any auction that reached above a certain amount. Now they use those silly asterisks.

        Oh, I see. That's kind of strange.

          Apparently it's meant to help prevent malicious bidding against other specific users. It does make it easier for sellers to bid up their own stuff though!
