Ebay privacy

[askbob]

I've noticed something recent while browsing ebay. When someone you know or don't know sends you a message via ebay, you can click on their feedback score and see the most recent bought and sold items. Up to the last few months usually. Someone I know sent me a message a few weeks ago via ebay and I was able to see their recent buying and selling items(They were trying to link me to an item). As of today when I click on that same persons message feedback, there are no links for the items bought/sold. Is there a setting in the ebay user panel to make this change?

It was a fairly recent privacy change. No setting, just an automatic change for everyone. There's ways around it though..

What's strange is that I suddenly cannot look at a persons recent feedback items that I know, but in a message from 30 days ago from another seller I messaged, I CAN see all of their recent items.
