what does it mean "private listing" buyers identities protected. Why does that happen | Buying

can anyone tell me why the above message appears on an item on which I am bidding? Why is a bidder on a publicly listed item on an open site such as Ebay listed as "private listing; buyers identities protected", and they are a bidder? What's the deal and why the anonymity? Makes me a bit suspicious. An answer would be apreciated. So time consuming to get to Ebay and ask a question so maybe someone here can tell me. Thanks. dancingpartner
