can one hide their purchases part of their feedback from the public

[marfousha]

Has ebay caught up to the modern times yet (as etsy has)...

is one able to hide their purchases from the public yet? (showing feedback from buyers is fine of course). Thanks.

That option has always been there however

http://pages.ebay.ca/help/feedback/profile-public-private.html

: If you have a private Feedback Profile, you will not be able to sell items on eBay.

If you have private feedback and want to sell something you

have to reset your feedback to public, until your sale is finished

and then you can put it back to private

A lot of users have 2 different accounts

1 for buying and 1 for selling.

If you do have two (or more) IDs and use one for buying and one for selling, they can share a Paypal account. So you can make your purchases from your PP balance.

OTOH, if you back your purchases through PP with a credit card, you have an extra line of appeal if things go bad. And you have more time to pay since you don't have to pay off the card immediately.

You could hide your history for years. Nothing to get caught up to. It most likely was in place before Etsy existed.

I am not aware one can hide their history AND still sell. I am not talking about making your feedback private, in which case you cannot sell. I am talking about just hiding your PURCHASES from nosy friends and family. Can we do this on ebay? Please let me know how!...this is fabulous if so! I thought only etsy was smart enough for this! Thanks!
