No way to be sure.......but that's what it looks like to me.

Curious; when a seller opts for a private auction, is it something they can choose to do every once in a while, or is it the case that they need to orient all their auctions the same way afterwards? I mention this only because I've never used this method of selling on ebay, and because I'm wondering how it impacts a sellers feedback (ie. does the winning bidder have a "private" beside their name when they leave feedback for a seller using a private auction).

Feedback is visible but you cannot access the item to know what the feedback was for.
