<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1194050, member: 27832&quot;]I was under the impression that (a) you have to designate an auction as &quot;private&quot; at listing time, and (b) the linked seller is running <i>all</i> auctions as private. (On the other hand, I thought you could see whether an auction was private before you bid, and I&#039;m not seeing any indication on the active auctions.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Making the auctions private is certainly a no-brainer if you&#039;re selling questionable merchandise. In fact, I wish more coin sellers would do it -- it&#039;s not too hard to get my identity given my eBay ID, and I don&#039;t like my own buying history (showing a lot of coins being delivered through the mail) being public via my feedback history. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From the comments of others, it sounds like it wouldn&#039;t even be necessary to ask. But throwaway eBay accounts are awfully easy to generate. The linked seller has only 178 feedbacks, low for a Chinese junk vendor, and a six-month history; I suspect this isn&#039;t his first or only account.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
