How do I stop people seeing what I purchase(spoiling Birthdays)

only you can see what you have purchased - when you are signed in

 

when I look at your Id's feedback - I cannot see what you have purchased.

 

 so you need to keep your id and password secret, and probably have a separate email address that your family do not have the password for Smiley Happy

You can make your feedback private if you don't sell on this id. That will hide the comments.

 

Make your Feedback Profile private
 If you make your Feedback Profile private, your Feedback comments will be hidden from other users. This may decrease the chance that other members will want to do business with you.
 
 Note: If you choose to make your Feedback Profile private, you will not be able to sell items.

there are a number of work-arounds for those that really want to see what the OP has bought.  You just need to look at feedback the OP has left for others, take note of the date/time the feedback was left and then click on the seller ID on the feedback left.  This will let you see the item that the feedback was left for.  For example, the TMT item that feedback was left for today at 9.38.

 

Another work-around is to look at the feedback left for the OP and then look at the feedback of the seller that left the feedback.  Look at their feedback left for others and you can see the items bought by the OP (e.g. the Butterfly napkin ring)

 

Get yourself a buying-only eBay ID and make the feedback private if you really want to keep nosey people from finding out what you have bought (not that I am calling myself a nosey person, I only looked to make a point . . . LOL)

It doesn't work quite as comprehensively as it used to but it's still more than adequate in many circumstances.

eBay was listening.... 

 

Date / time has been removed from feedback profiles, some time today because I still have a tab open from earlier that's got the info, to now show only "During" past 1 month, 6 months, 12 months or more than 12 months.

OMG . . . . . . either a huge coincidence OR eBay do read the boards and take note!!!!!!!

 

I'm betting it is a coincidence.

 

There may still be some work-arounds, but they may take more effort/time for feedback profiles with a lot of feedback.
