But if that is true - then it still does not explain the fact that the feedback counts match. What's the chances of two different people getting assigned the same codename, and those people also have the same feedback count? The only way it makes sense if if Ebay also obscures the feedback count - i.e. its just a random number, and that same feedback count always goes with that same randomly assigned codename.
