Tell me...what's the problem with showing the seller? It harms nobody..except perhaps those price gouging, who my quickly find themselves short of business.

I know the name of my waiter/waitress when I drop in at Applebee's—they wear a name tag.
I know the name of the cashier at Walmart...they wear a name tag.
I know the name of my bank teller. There's a desk plaque.
I know the name of the repairman Charter sent when our modem failed. The company told me via text message.
I know the name of the politician I vote for.
I know the name of my baker.
When I call a local business, the person on the other end routinely identifies themselves with a name.
None of these people have a problem with that.

Many players are spending real dollars to compete. Why shouldn't they know the game ID of the person they're purchasing from in the Auction House?

Please...explain to me clearly what problems you feel this would cause, because I'm thinking that anyone who is doing business fairly has nothing at all to worry about. I'm not asking for a blood sample or your home address. I'm asking to know who I'm spending money with.
