I was looking around on ebay earlier today and found a great feature I never come to notice before.

I have always been weary of high bidders with usernames that have “*” in them. They always seem to be fake names or junk accounts that the seller has to upbid their own items. After losing out on many items over the years I came to realize that I could hardly ever win an auction against these so called bidders with the “*” in their names.

Today I find this awesome feature that lets you see the bidding activity that any one buyer has with that seller! All you do is click on the high bidder’s username and it will bring up heaps of information about them, including the “Bid activity (%) with this seller:”

Now I understand that there are many repeat buyers out there, I have a lot myself with my stores, but it’s a great tool to get to look at when you think something is fishy or odd.

On another note, I believe it’s eBay’s policy that your username can only have letters and numbers in it, and not special characters. If anyone can correct me please do, but if I remember right that’s the rules provided by eBay for Australia anyway.

I though this was very interesting and I know many others will love to see the bidding information regarding high bidders.

I hope this will be of value to you!
