Played around with some listings to see if I could find a trend to the change. From what I found, regular eBay listings and eBay Motors listing for small merchandise still behave like they always have when checking bidders.
It appears that the bidders identity is blocked now on eBay Motors actual vehicle listings. Might be other big ticket items as well and it would likely spread to the rest of eBay if they get positive feedback from the feature.
There is also a floating text that will appear when you hover the mouse over the individual bidder details and this shows approximately how long the bidder has been registered and a range of how many things they have bid on for various times so you can tell if they are at least a real person or a newly created account or one that only bids things up but never wins anything.
