·2 years agoEvery bid by every bidder on every listing is hidden in the same manner as all the other bids on that particular listing (a***b type alias, "Private listing--bidderS' identitIES protected" or a translation of the latter). You see your own ID in full only because YOU are the one looking; log out and navigate back to a refreshed Bid History Page and you'll see your ID alias. Only you and the seller (and I assume at least some eBay employees under at least some circumstances) can see your full ID. Same goes for Feedback Profile pages--where you see your ID on the seller's Feedback Profile everyone else sees an alias.

Mentor2 years agoeBay hides your username in bid history from other users, but does not hide it from you or from the seller.
Open the bid history in a private or incognito browser window when not signed in to see how it looks to other users.
