I haven't used ebay in quite awhile now, but when I did use it, if I won the item- I'd pay for it and that would be it. I always thought the bid retraction was used for an honest mistake, like "oops, I just bid $20,000.00 instead of $2,000.00" type of thing.
I guess what I'm saying is - what is the purpose of so many bid retractions? Is it just to mess with legit bidders, bidding the item up and then just backing out because they only intended to play games in the first place? Did the bid retractor never really want the item?
Could someone please enlighten me on this- I sure would appreciate it (seriously)
Thanks- Clayton
