A note about apparent shill bidding

[jhs5120]

I run 200-400 auctions a year on eBay and I've seen maybe 4 bid retractions over the past 8 years.

I nip it in the bud by blocking bid retractors. NEVER has the reason been valid for the retraction. I don't put up with shenanigans.

I think I've retracted one bid in my life where I missed the decimal point typing in my bid. I immediately re-entered the bid with the decimal point in the right place. But I can't think of many other reasons besides an obvious typo, that could be legit.

I think it means he retracted a bid once but agrees. I have been on the bay around 17 yrs and think I might have 1-2 retractions in total. I can't remember either had to have 1-2 LOL.....too many more than that and ebay needs to take a stand and boot people. That would help a lot.

I have an auction ending here very shortly. I have one bidder here with what looks like 50+ bids on this one item.
