"As the internet evolves, eBay continues to strike a balance between preserving transparency and 
protecting our Community of members. eBay has decided to change how bid history information is 
displayed so bad guys cannot target bidders with fake offers using this information. In certain 
cases, some bidders will no longer be able to view Bidder User IDs on the Bid History page. Your 
User ID will be shown only to you and the seller of the item you're bidding on. Other members will 
see an anonymous name, such as Bidder 1, applied consistently to the Bid History page."

So now, you can't see who you're bidding against.
Frickin' wonderful.
