No one else can see what you've bought via feedback - you can if you are logged into your ID, but everyone else sees comments only, no item details whatsoever.

 

You can also switch your feedback to private if you want to, then no one will be able to see the comments.

you can set your feedback to private (but this means that you can't sell), but people will still be able to find any purchases you made in the last 30 days.

 

The best solution is to get yourself a buying account and not to post with it and don't tell anyone about it. Only use the ID you post with for posting and buying anything you don't mind the rest of the world knowing about.

yeah, but if they leave feedback, the supersleuths can follow the trail of cookie crumbs and work out what has been bought, cos from the seller's page there is a link to the item.

when I look at your feedback I can't easily see what it is you have bought.  I tried looking at your feedback as a buyer as well as the feedback you have left for others and no item titles show on these feedbacks.

 

If I clicked on the seller feedback for one of the feedbacks you left for a seller I can get to see what you bought from them as the item title appears on their feedback received from you.  If someone was interested in seeing all that you buy on eBay it would be a bit of work as they would have to do as I did for the seller of the USB noodle data cable.

 

If you are not intending to sell for some time you can make your feedback appear as 'private', where no feedback comments left for or by you are visible to others.  If you decide to sell again you will need to make your feedback public.

 

However, another way to see what members are bidding on is to do an 'advanced search by bidder'.  When I did this search for your ID it showed 11 items with item number links that can take me to the B-I-Now listings you have bought from or auctions won.

I know that, but there's a reason I sometimes neglect to mention things. ๐Ÿ˜‰
