I do understand that actual shilling would have to be provable, which is probably the major "rub". But it seems that if enough patterns can be established to bring nefarious activities into question, and ebay actually has better resources to track this (since actually know who the bidders are), it would be in their best interest to crack down harder on bid retractions of this nature. Or are they banking on the assumption that shilling would be extremely difficult to prove?

What I have learned about Ebay is this, if the bids don't come from the same computer, pad, or whatever device is used.
They will not do anything. Patterns don't matter with them.
