As I peruse ebay's various auctions, I see alot of bidding by usernames like, for example, h***2 or k***d. Is this an actual username or are some of the characters hidden for some reason? At first I thought all bidders' names were being cloaked or something, but every once in a while I see a more traditional name. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm just curious.

While an auction is still live, the bidders names are hidden from other bidders (not the seller). It's a fairly new (months, not weeks) thing.

Debbie thanks for filling me in I notice it also but didn't think much of it.. I guess I don't keep up on ebay changes like I should.
