Can you no longer see what bidders are bidding on?

I remember, back in the day, when you can search a bidder's bidding history and see everything they are currently buying. I ask because I have an item up and there is this one pesky bidder who has been inactive for over a year, extremely low feedback, has been a member for over 4 years and makes these little bid increases. If she is bidding on my auction now, shouldn't it show up in her bidding history? I am almost tempted to cancel her bid...she keeps asking me to do a Buy It Now because she's 'impatient'. Is the search feature not working anymore, because I see nothing when I enter her id?

Is your listing listed as private? If so, it won't show up on her bidding history--and if it's the only item she's bidding on, thrn nothing will come up.

No, it's not private. Ahh, OK, didn't realize she needs to bid on more than one item. Thanks.
What I meant was: If your listing is private (but I now know it isn't), and she bids on it, and only it, nothing will show up on her history--because private listings wouldn't show up. But since your listing isn't private, I'm not sure why you can't search her bidding history.

I can't do a bid history on my own items, but if I log out and look at the item, then I can see a bid history. Even though the id's are disguised, you can still tell who they are by the feedback rating.
