You can make your feedback private or public. You will find that your
Feedback Profile is a valuable asset at eBay, helping you earn the trust and
respect of fellow eBay participants. By making your Feedback Profile
private, you may be jeopardizing other eBay participants' desire to conduct
business with you.

But not their *ability* to do so. :-) You gotta love eBay. It would be nice
if sellers could choose to not accept bids from buyers with private
feedback. Buyers can choose not to bid on auctions run by sellers, but
sellers cannot choose to not accept bids from all who appear. To this free
marketeer, that's just wrong.

We strongly encourage you to consider this carefully when
making the decision to make your Feedback Profile private.
