Plus if you still want to bid on the auction, your minimum bid has to be equal to your retracted bid.......so basically you are out of the auction.
Interesting - I can see that happening (above). And for the record, my post wasn't directed at PWCC specifically as much as anyone who may encounter bidding / retracting "shenanigans" I don't know what PWCC does specifically here beyond warnings? Whether or not there is any teeth to their claims to address shilling and/or other games which bring legitimacy into question? As an occasional seller, I would probably ban someone if there was more than one retraction and/or non-paying bid - unless they got with me on a valid reason (as noted above) for why?

The example first noted with 26 retractions within 6 months on a bidder with 83 total feedbacks to me still goes beyond the extreme.
