eBay is going to launch Safeguarding Member IDs on eBay.com and eBay Canada.

Safeguarding Member IDs will protect eBay’s bidders from unwanted commercial and malicious spam, such as phishing, spoof, and fake Second Chance Offers, according to eBay.

Safeguarding Member IDs will impact the listings on eBay.com that start at or reach a bid level of $200 or greater. On eBay Canada, SMI will impact listings above the C$220 level.

Rob Chesnut, Senior Vice President, eBay Global Trust & Safety, said: “SMI adds a new layer of privacy by replacing specific User IDs with aliases (bidder 1, bidder 2, bidder 3, etc.).

To ensure buyers continue to feel trust in the bidding process, SMI also provides an updated Bid History page with aggregate information about the bidders involved in a given listing, as well as their other recent activity with the listing’s seller”. [source]
