How to see who bid in an auction with you...

McDonnellFarm

I tried the search function and couldn't find it, but I remember someone making an awesome post how you could see who the other bidders were in an eBay auction if you had bid on it. Can anyone pint me to it or refresh my memory how to do this?

Thanks.

To find out high bidder on auctions. Replace the xxxxxxx with an eBay user name.
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidItems&userid=xxxxxxx&completed=1&all=1&rows=200&sort=3&_rdc=1

To see a list of sellers items, Replace the xxxxxxx with an eBay user name.
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&rdir=0&userid= xxxxxxx

To see who has bid on a auction replace xxxxxxx with the auction number

This doesn't work. Just gives you the hidden abbreviations of the bidders in a given auction, not their usernames.

It shows the unencrypted username for the high bidder only on auctions you have bid on. It is not a general purpose decryption algorithm of eBay user names.

Check the seller's feedback page. If the buyer left feedback, the unencrypted buyer name will be there.
