Ive seen in bidding activity where bidders are not identified, how is this possible?

All bidders identities are masked. Only the buyer and the seller can see the I.D. Log out and look at something you are bidding on. You will see that your member I.D. is masked.

All bidders are masked to other viewers.

Buyers can set their ID to private feedback, but can't sell on that ID.

Sellers can select private listing on the selling form, and the bidding list will show that.

See support, private feedback, or private listing.
