It's just amazing to me that Ebay allows this, they truly don't give a s***. They just want to figure out how they can charge more money....

I just realized I can't tell when someone is cussing or giving an ebay ID anymore.

That many bid retractions isn't good for anyone. If they are shilling than it isn't good for the buyers. If they are not shilling than it isn't good for the sellers. So why would this be allowed by ebay?

Agreed and I'll add that it should not be tolerated. Someone should report it to eBay.

Bart: "Steady as a rock"
Jim: [raises his other hand, which is violently trembling] "Yeah, but I bid with this one."
