You know, it’s not really true that all you can see is a bidder’s nickname. A bidder’s nickname won’t tell you much.
However, if you dig a bit deeper, you can see the 30-day activity summary (bid history): what number of items the respective bidder has been bidding on, the total number of bids (from this you can conclude what bidding strategy that bidder employs – whether he places one bid per item or competes continuously by placing multiple bids).
You can also see what is the bid activity (in %) with that particular seller and the number of bids that bidder has retracted within a 6-month period.
Most importantly, you can see how the bidder is bidding on that particular item you are interested in.
Thus, you get a pretty clear picture of who you are competing with and what to expect.
