Check out this thread on the eBay Discussion boards. In case you are not aware, eBay has throw out all auction transparency for bidding on auctions over $200 by hiding the bidders names. Won't this just open up the floodgate for shill bidders?? As a eBay member since 1998, I see this as a very bad decision impacting bidders and sellers alike.

WOW....That's a pointless rule in my opinion.

the only real effect i can see this having is a seller using a second account to get into a bidding war with an honest bidder to drive the final price up.... correct me if that's not possible, but man, i can't think of any good reason to do this.
