Ebay seems to have lost 'its way'...from its humble beginnings where trust was paramount ...it has grown in a massive marketing machine with new policies that seem to benefit eBay's bank balance.

The real shame is that there isn't another 'big' auction site that could rival eBay. Then buyers and sellers could decide which internet auction site to use... so if people feel new policies were unfair etc they would use the 'other' site....people power.
Unfortunately eBay is almost a monopoly driven by business exec's whom are looking to increase their profits to the detrement of the 'original values' of eBay.

I feel it is becoming riskier to both buy and sell on eBay, hiding ID's will increase that risk ........
