Don't see the downside in this.
Why would you need to know who is bidding on the same auction as you? Once
the auction is over you can see the list of bidders I believe. Good on eBay
for trying out new ways to minimize fraud.
eBay is also not something you HAVE to use - if you don't like it don't use
it.
