EBAY AND THE SELLERS MARKET POWER

Did anyone, besides me, even notice that Ebay, over time, shut down virtually all information about who was bidding and or buying, and, to a much lesser extent, who was selling items on Ebay?

Did you ever wonder why or how that was happening?

There was once a time, in a land and a time far far away, when one could look at an item for sale and get some idea whether it was put up by a merchant or not, whether it was being bid on or was won by a merchant, or not. One could see other information about the playeres in an individual auction, and about multiple auctions over time.

That information has been excluded from Ebay for a long time now, based overwhelmingly on professional sellers' pressure, not on ignorant bidders' buyers' consumers' wants or needs or desires.
