Weird, I know, but no. You can't have effeftove e-commerce really without the buyer and seller knowing each other without the use of middlemen who'll raise costs and wind up knowing more about both parties than they'd have found out about each other the old fashioned way.

If you want to buy anonymously, you have to do it with cash, in person.
