private listing-- what's it for?

[i_love_yorkie]

when making auction, there is an option to make ur listing private- other people cant see what you sold in your feedback.
what is it for?
thanks

i always do private auctions to protect bidders and winners from being harrassed..also i dont like people seeing what im bidding on or what ive won...
