What is everyone's take on invalid bid retractions??

[edjs]

I would think that an invalid would have to follow the same rules for bid retractions as anyone else, but I don't understand why we are discussing it.

I have a simple rule. If someone retracts a bid on one of my items without placing a new bid, they are immediately blocked.

Had one guy question why I blocked him after he retracted a bid and I explained to him my rule. His response was that he has friends who bid on my stuff who have retracted bids but are still allowed to bid. I told him that they did not retract a bid at my auction. If they did, they would have also been blocked.

Since eBay does nothing to stop these people, it's really up to the seller to block these people.

We are discussing it because I wanted opinions, which I have since received. Thank you so much.

Oh man, I thought you were talking about invalids, people with disabilities. I couldn't figure out why that would make any difference, let alone how you would know if a bid retractor was disabled. Cursed homonyms.
