Tick the remain anonymous box or not?

I apologise if this has been asked before, but have returned to ebay to raise funds for a new car:eek:, after having not used ebay for over a year, and a lot of things have changed.

Would you recommend ticking the box that says


"Allow buyers to remain anonymous to other eBay members"

or should I leave it unticked?

    Unless you are selling something that buyer would rather not have showing on their feedback or you have something to hide then I would leave everything out in the open!!

    That makes your sales look either dodgy or that you are selling pornography or the infamous well worn shoes so I wouldn't as it will put people off.

    the only other reason would be to hide what you take as a best offer on multiple/regular items
