Archie, that posting of yours doesn't make any sense at all. If you would have read this discussion from the very beginning you may have understood what this is all about! First of all there is such a thing as a proxy bid and a direct bid as defined by Ebay when an ID Is Kept Private. If the starting bid on an Item is $9.99 and I submit a bid of $129.00, then that is what I am willing to pay. What I am talking about is when someone comes in and bids just to get the price higher for the seller and with an "ID Kept Private" the only one who knows what is going on is the seller. Archie, don't talk to me about some buy CHEAP and others PAY MORE, lets just leave at that!!
