Interesting eBay tools

Members of eBay can add any auction to their watchlist. Only the seller can see the number of people watching his auctions. But it would be interesting to know for all bidders and members, how big the interest in the auctions is...
Since the end of 2008, the member ID of the high bidder/buyer are anonymous. They are shown like m***a for example. Well, it would be interesting to know who the high bidder and the final buyer is.

Now you have the possibility to see the number of members watching the auctions and even the full ID of the high bidder/buyer, if you know how to do it!
The famous website wortfilter.de did figure out how it works! Probably because of a bug in the eBay software it's possible.
wortfilter.de has created two online tools: Watchlist reader and member ID reader (both available in German only).

It's unknown for how long these tools will work, because eBay for sure will remove the bugs in their software as son as possible.

So, use the tools as long as they are working!
