I think they are a shady bidder. One or two is one thing but I have seen some with over 100 retractions.
If they bid on any of my items and retract their bid, I generally add them to my blocked bidder list. Mike, |

Same. They certainly aren't "shilling" when they're doing it to MY auctions. Just causing chaos and generally disrupting things. I think a few of these schmucks use it as a strategy to sow distrust in an auction, and then swoop in and get it for cheaper. Whether it's a sound strategy or not.......I do not honestly know. It is angering however. I haven't had it happen to me in awhile....but I also am not running as many auctions as I used to. It used to be frustratingly common. |

They carry a hundred parasols, that's how shady they are.

Items with a lot of bids on them become "hot" and ebay increases their chances of being seen in search results, though.
