<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 2412587, member: 60292&quot;]I agree with everyone in that you should set your max bid and stick to it. While it does seem unnecessary to hide bidders identities (more than eBay does already), you can&#039;t assume that the seller is doing so for nefarious reasons. There may be some bidders who prefer it and have voiced their concern to this particular seller. Or maybe the seller just thinks it&#039;s advantageous to do so in attracting higher bids (for whatever reason).</p><p><br /></p><p>That does not mean that there can&#039;t be funny stuff going on. Personally what I do when I see this is I reduce my normal max bid. I feel like I could be rewarding the seller who could potentially be shilling by pushing the winning price up should I finish runner up bidder. I&#039;d just rather give my true max bids to those sellers that seem to be more transparent. I know that may seem cynical or maybe even crazy to some considering that an item is just an item and your max bid shouldn&#039;t be affected by a sellers unknown motive, but it makes me feel better in case the seller <i>is</i> playing games <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
