It has to do with collusion and price-fixing.
I'm sad they took away the ability to see past bidder's e-mails.

I don't want a stupid search agent to look for "Yogi doll"
for me every three days. Give me the option to hand out my

that's auto-forwarded to my non-public e-mail address) to
anyone selling something I might want, and give me a way
to file a different kind of feedback to help police people
who might be inclined to spam via this mechanism.
