Seeing this a lot in the bid listings just recently! what is this Immunity? and why do Ebay allow it?.... always looks suspect to me?.

Yeah I'd like to know too.
I don't sell on ebay, do you have to select it or de-select it as an option?

It's automatic on most sales.

One positive is that it stops toe-rags from contacting bidders who are bidding on your items and offering to sell them identical items at reduced/lower prices or items available off ebay.

It does lock out any access to the bidders feedback too!
