Whats all this stuff on ebay with private auctions and not showing bidders??? I cant see any reason why some people do this. I think it puts alot of people off bidding. I for one, think that these type of auctions have people bidding the item up.

Why else would they keep it private?

 

or the fact its such a rip off that other ebayers will pm the bidders telling em they can get it cheaper elsewhere

 

i never bid on anything that has hidden bidders, like you say its his mate bidding stuff up and you cant check it out,
