This.

I believe many bidders now think this is a valid strategy to drive other bidders away.......................or they think nothing of the etiquette of the matter, or how much it's frowned upon my many bidders and sellers.

PWCC can't just ban everybody who has retractions, or they'd have no bidders left.

Lots of big money guys are obviously using it as what they feel, is an accepted technique and strategy.

There's no repercussions, and Ebay is complicit in this line of thinking. It's easily solved, but Ebay's not interested in solving it.
