I've noticed that lot of the user names are "t***t", "r***r", "t***n", etc...

Anyone noticed this on Ebay

ebay is a shithole company and started hiding the names of bidders so you couldn't tell when people bump their own auctions

Yup, the more people they illegally bump their auctions and don't get caught, the higher their commissions on listings and paypal.
