The item I won had only private bidders except me, what does that mean ?

I won an item that had only private bidders, except me, what does that mean ?

Are you sure that you weren't a private bidder for those other bidders?

Did it actually say private? You're the only one who could see your name. Normally, other bidders will show up as something like this. y***t (78)  But if the seller has set the auction as private, then the other bidders will show as private to you and you to them..
