Obfuscate usernames in bid history?

When enabled, usernames in bid history are hidden or partially masked (e.g., J***D) to prevent bidder manipulation or identification. Useful for preventing intimidation or deceptive tactics (e.g., registering with a misleading name like "IraSmithEstate").

No

Tip: Use this setting to protect bidder identity when necessary, especially in sensitive auctions like real estate or estate sales.
