2 retractions in 10+ years each retraction was because of my clumsy typing i.e. entered 1000.00 vs. 100.00 or something. After each retraction I reentered my bid on the item….

None for me in 13 years, but I did once bid $900 instead of $90. Luckily no one else accidentally bid $800.

Another bidder with mistake prone fingers, I guess.

Interesting that you will see more of these people with lot of bid retractions in the big auction going on eBay now. Just put a "Buy it now" & take offers rather then shill bidding.
It's frustrating with no real end in site.
