Does Anyone Know What "Private Listing" In E-bay Means....
I wanted to see how bidding was going on an item I'm interested in and all the bidding on this item indicates "privat listing". I want to learn what that means as I want to know what I'm up against if I bid on this item. Any help would be appreciated.

in regular auctions anymore anyway. Private listings give a buyer more privacy but it makes it harder
for a buyer to see if there was any shill bidding going on.

If I wanted to assure that I remained somewhat anonymus when I bid - how do I do that?
