Tricky one. It should reduce fake bids but I'm not sure if it'd reduce valid ones too...

...You'll find that most decent E-Commerce enabled sites will log a buyers IP Address and record it in the transaction record. So it's something that is part of dayly life for everyone who purchases online.

As for making a IP logging privacy statement - you could either put in your T&C's or make it more obvious - but either way this is something you are legally allowed to do (in cirtain circumstances you may even be obliged to do it - e.g. under IC Office rules to combat fraud).
