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

I don't even notice retractions until I block the bidder for doing it. I don't know why, but Ebay almost seems to hide retractions. It is very hard to find unless you know what you are doing.

My seller was also unaware of it until I told him, but I am unsure if he has ever tried to look?
He was away for the week-end and had just returned shortly before that particular card sold.
I beat out the same bidder a week prior and I haven't heard anything from the seller if the deal fell through but some time has passed now so I assume all is good?
Not sure, now that the retracting buyer has won one, if the seller will still decide to block him, but if everything is on the up and up with this current purchase, I personally don't see it happening, and in all honesty, I don't blame him.
