Well I guess I know why ebay made user IDs private because people got harrassed by people they outbid or they did it so people couldnt try and sell simliar items outside of ebay to the 2nd to high bidder but I hate it!

Has anyone noticed a trend in the names they use for the hidden names?

my ebay name is brianb9 but they tend to use r***r as my hidden name.

The reason why I post this is because I am in this hobby for fun and we all have our collecting nitches and what we like but I also feel I have made some friends on this board and if its an item I can do with out I try to not outbid someone on this board who may really want the item.

For example:

John Flarretty bat was on ebay recently and dude who collects him won it and is very proud of it. Sorry guy I forgot ur name on here! I knew that there was a member on this board who collects him so I did not bid and jack up the price on him, or win it.

So if anyone else is willing to show there ebay sancationed blocked out name to let others know I am down for it.


mine is r***r
