Is there something I don’t know about? Here’s an example.

From here
“To protect your privacy, we limit how your bid history information is displayed by using anonymous names. Your complete user ID is shown to the seller of this item only. Bidders are assigned anonymous names, such as x***y. These anonymous names are used consistently across all listings.”
it doesn’t let you know the full username to keep people’s identity a secret
