My wife did just point out that there are automated sniper systems which will try to bid for you on the last second of an auction. These may be where some of these 3rd Party accounts are coming from.

this may not be what it is used for. i don't use ebay often, although i have placed a few bids at say $250 as my max, and let the automated bidding kick it up for me if required. when i checked my account though i did not have this feature on so it must be used for something else?
maybe it allows private companies to see your record of sales etc
some sort of marketing info sharing thing?
