Private eBay Auctions
Any seller on eBay has the option to make their auction private. A private
auction on eBay means that only the seller knows the identities of those bidding
on the item or items being offered.
On the eBay website you can find this information posted by eBay regarding
private auctions: “While there are some cases where private listings are
appropriate, such as the sale of high-priced ticket items or approved
pharmaceutical products, you should only make your listing private for a
specific reason.”
Some sellers say that using the private auction option prevents their
competitors from stealing their customers or knowing what they selling price of
each item was. They also say that it protects their customers from SPAM that is
initiated by their competitors.
