I do know that I have been bidding through eBay since 1998 and have 1629 positives, mostly as a buyer. And I've never made even one bid retraction?

++ Learn to enjoy being the underbidder. Shilling wasn't invented last month, it's been here for centuries, and it's found a nice little nest on e-bay, even worse at AH's.
Stop giving yourself a coronary; snipe a bid at what you think is fair and walk away. Be cautious at any AH's, there's a reason the auctions never end.
If you have time to take on the establishment, more power to you. I'd love to see someone take the manipulators down. But PWCC is the messenger, don't kill them.
