Yep, looks like it will mask shill bidding completely as you cannot see that Person A is bidding on Person B's items, and vice versa.

But what do ebay care [about shill bidding]? The higher the price, the more money they make - it's in their interest for the prices to be higher. Even if it is shill bidding, ebay still charge their fee on the final listed price and you can't get round it.

Ebay is one big scam - pay to list, pay again to sell and pay a third time to accept money through paypal... all to the same company.
