eBay sellers use a Private Listing to protect the buyer's identity. For example, the bidder's ID's might show up as something like h**p. That way, no one but the seller can contact the buyer about their purchase (which is nice to prevent fraud, or to keep gift purchases a secret.)
The drawback is that as a bidder, you cannot look up a challenging bidder's ID to determine if they are a legitimate buyer, or if they are just shill bidding to drive up the selling price.
