I see this blogger is asking basically the same question everyone else is;

I want to know: how does reducing transparency within the eBay auction venue result in greater safety for eBay buyers? It's problematic that eBay is only set to gain from high prices; if fraudulent sales practices do drive up final value fees, eBay's bottom line is given a boost. Obviously shill bidding is not an accepted practice; but why would eBay create the appearance of trying to hide it?

This blog usually gets a lot of good poster's comments. Let's see how many times boycott gets mentioned. (if any)
