Private Listings?

[ecom_foryou]

Hi

I've noticed more and more people with private user ID's/Listings and was just wondering how does one make their listings private?

Is the main benefit that the item you are selling or purchasing can't be viewed by other people? 

Thanks

Private listings are also used by shill bidders to avoid detection.

It can also reduce members looking at items as some don't trust private listings for non sensitive items.
