From whom?

For the general public--

• No item you buy shows in your feedback.
• Anyone can see the name of the seller, and check what he sells.
• Ask the seller not to leave feedback
• Don't leave feedback.
• When you bid in an auction, only you and the seller can see your ID. Your ID is masked (s***7) from other buyers or browsers
• If you buy at Fixed Price, no one sees who bought except the seller.

For family--

• Don't tell anyone your eBay ID
• Don't tell anyone your password
• Always log out
• Use Private Window

Are you trying to keep your buying feedback separate from your feedback as a seller?

The only way to do that is to create a new ID with which to buy only. Not the other way around, since you already have decent feedback as a seller and that's important to accumulate in order to install confidence in you from potential buyers.

Hi

thanks

Trying to keep what you sell private isn't a great idea. Potential buyers will be turned off by the secrecy in most cases unless you are dealing with adult-type products.

i guess i would rather not to have my  buying items so public ???

Okay, then I go back to my original advice which would be to create a new buyer ID for making purchases so that you're not mixing business with pleasure. this is particularly useful if you source your items on ebay for resale.
