When a person bits on an item and it says that his/her name is being protected how do I know that the seller is not increasing the bid.

Back in the day when bidder's identities were not hidden by eBay,private listings were a way of hiding your purchases from others who knew your user ID,such as wives,husbands,etc.. They were also a way of hiding those items that might be embarrassing to the buyer if they were known,such as adult items.
