I'm on the ebay soapbox again. It seems the latest seller trick on ebay is to list the auctions as "private". That way, the bidder cannot be contacted when being ripped off on an item. This is taking place in other collectible areas beside gasoline. Beware of these "private" auctions, they are not to protect you from unsolicited email, they are usually due to the item being available for much less elsewhere and are run as private to prevent the seller from losing a sale.
