I've sold on ebay for quite a while and have NEVER had this happen.
Someone asked me if I would change my auction to a private auction.... Now, when I've seen private auctions they are things like unmentionables or certain kinds of movies or pictures....right? I think I might have an idea why they want it private, but not sure.
I don't have any bids on the item now, but it ends kinda soon. what I'm selling is plus size women's clothing?
 
Maybe its a man buying the outfit for himself :confused3
 
I think you are confusing Private auctions with Adult Auctions.

Private auctions are when the bidders can't be seen by anyone looking at the auction. The bidder probably wants you to make it a private auction so no one can see that they are bidding. Sellers do it so other sellers won't be able to email underbidders and offer them the same item for a lower price.

Adult Auctions are ones where you have to register to view.

Hope that helps!
 
I was thinking the same thing LisaNJ.... I've sold a bunch of stuff (women's clothing, makeup) to men, so could be.
Thanks for the other info Kathie....
I've got a bid now so maybe he/she decided to go ahead without it being private...
