<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2166976, member: 27832&quot;]You can&#039;t sell if <i>your feedback</i> is set to Private. You can make <i>listings</i> private, though. This used to be common for &quot;adult-oriented&quot; material, or anything that the buyer might not want showing up in his purchase history (or where the buyer wouldn&#039;t want to show up in a list of bidders).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that bidding and purchase histories are effectively always private -- the auction number and item description don&#039;t show up in feedback you&#039;ve <i>received</i> as a buyer, and your ID doesn&#039;t show up in feedback you&#039;ve <i>left</i> as a buyer -- I&#039;m not sure what legitimate reason there is to run a private auction. I guess it still blocks the anonymized feedback and bidding history, which prevents certain kinds of analysis, but the message I get from it is &quot;I have something to hide in my sales history&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
