yeah, it's masking. It's all BS if you ask me. It makes it harder for a potential *real* buyer to detect shilling, and as a sniper, I like to investigate someones bidding record to see how they bid. I can't do that anymore...
It quite plainly, SUCKS...
remember, EBay gets a percentage of the final sale amount, so of course, it's in their interest to have the final sale price jacked up as much as possible. If people think EBay is going to really attack shilling, they're dreaming.

PS I'm a manual sniper, I've made my comments about software bidding known elsewhere on these forums. If you can't be bothered to get up and bid, then don't bid. Using software bidding should be banned imho - it's no different to performance enhancing drugs being used in sporting imho.
