Why & how are some bidders' names kept private on the bidding lists?

Hi 16blythest,

Some Sellers opt to use Private Listings for their items: http://pages.ebay.ca/help/sell/private.html

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Thank you !
I'd already checked this out before asking my question.
The link is informative only up to a certain point.
It doesn't give suggestions as to why the user names would be kept private.
Since pseudonyms are used rather than our usual ebay names,I don't see the point of having "private" names.
I'm just curious !

I'm wondering ,why some sellers can do it ,not all sellers ?
