Can anyone assist please? I'm new to auctiva and don't understand why there is a box referring to 'Private Auction'. Is this something I need to tick to stop my personal information being made public? I have tried to find info about it but (and this is probably my own inability to understand this technology lark) don't seem to be able to find an explanation. All help gratefully received!

Hi,

eBay's definition of Private Auction

When a seller creates a private listing, a buyer's User ID does not appear in the listing or in the listing's bid history. Only the seller is authorized to view the buyer User IDs associated with that listing. Examples of when sellers use this format include the sale of high-priced items, or approved pharmaceutical products.

Here's an example of a Feedback page...the seller has mostly private listings:

Some sellers will use private listings for intimate items, underwear and such.

Thanks for the help - much appreciated.
