    That is why I asked.
    No problem. It's a very odd system they have. eBay gives you enough information to figure out some folk's encrypted userids, but not others. But then again, I understand little about eBay's business judgment and decision-making.
    Always looking for top NBA game worn items of superstar and Hall-of-Fame-caliber players (especially Kobe, LeBron, MJ, Curry and Durant). Also looking for game worn items of all players from special events (e.g., All Star Game, NBA Finals, milestone games, etc.). Please contact me at gameusedequip2@hotmail.com. Thank you.

        One thing I picked up on the whole encrypted user ID system...

        Although ebay states that they randomly take 2 characters out of the ebay ID and then adds the *** to the middle, what they don't tell you is that sometimes the 2 characters are the same.

        Hence, a user by the name of "SUAVE" might appear as follows:

        U***E

        OR

        U***U
        Looking for ...
        Any Game Used Mets jerseys from 1986 and 1987
        Any Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, Lee Mazzilli and John Olerud Mets items

            Are you sure? I had never noticed this.

                100% positive. Here is an example, from a recent sale of mine:

                Error Page | eBay
                http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160395709653


                If you go to the bid history, you will see the high bidder is listed as "m***m"

                The high bidder; however, only has 1 "m" in their ebay ID.

                    The link did not come up for me, but I'll take your word for it. Very strange. Thanks for the information.
