| Feature Description: |
| |
| Developers building applications using eBay Web Services APIs should be aware of a new enhancement coming, Safeguarding Member IDs. Safeguarding Member IDs is a new approach to auction-style listings that offers more privacy for our members through changing how bidding information is displayed. We will be implementing this new system via our Web services APIs on listings with a high bid of $200 or greater, which is where we believe it can have the greatest positive impact. The bid information for listings where the bid is lower than $200 will display as it does today. |

| Feature Benefits: |
| |
| Safeguarding Member IDs initiative is an effort to protect eBay's bidders from unwanted commercial and malicious spam. Developers should read the Announcement Board post for further details about this enhancement. |
| |
| Developer Impact: |
| |
| API updates supporting this enhancement, including Motors, are expected to go live in early Q1 2007 Please read the API documentation for the details. |
