UPDATE: ebay user id's
So I just read some interesting things on why some usernames have "*" in them and it has to do with scammers sending out fake second chance offers to non winning bidders. Having the username contain "*" prevents trolls, or people that only look for usernames that did not win an item, from sending fake second chance offer email that look like they are coming from ebay.
I still think it's a little fishy looking and that ebay should have a link next to the type of user id's letting other ebay users know why the username looks so strange. Ebay has an icon link next to people who have changed their user id, so why they don't add one next to the strange looking usernames I can't say?

Great feature for finding fake bids!
I was looking around on ebay early this morning and found a great feature I never noticed before.
I have always been weary of high bidders with usernames that have "*" in them. They always seem to be fake names or junk accounts that the seller has to upbid their own items. After losing out on many items over the years I came to realize that I could hardly ever win an auction against these so called bidders with the "*" in their names.
Today I find this awesome feature that lets you see the bidding activity that any one buuyer has with that seller! All you do is click on the high bidders username and it will bring up a ton of information about them, including the "Bid activity (%) with this seller:"
Now I understand that there are many repeat buyers out there, I have a lot myself for items I list, but it's a great feature to get to look at when you think something is fishy.
On another note, I believe it's ebay policy that your username can only have letters and numbers in it, and not special characters. If anyone can correct me please do, but if I remember right that's the rules provided by ebay for the United States anyway.
I though this was very interesting and I know many others will love to see the bidding information regarding high bidders.
Enjoy!

Ebay makes changes to their look!
So ebay just made some really cool changes to how everything looks!
I really like how everything lets you choose the color, layout and order of things. There is a lot more information in the "right places" if you ask me. This is a needed change and one that will have many ebay users very happy.
Keep up the good work ebay! Now if they will just support the seller in a better fashion...lol

FREE shipping on everything!
On each one of my listings you will see the FREE SHIPPING logo!
That's right, I'm testing out an idea of mine that gives buyers free shipping on all the items I have for sale. Times are tough right now and you have to do all it takes to make the sale. I'll how this pans out for me in the next few weeks.
