I've been a member since 1999, and have only retracted a "bid" once, if you can call it a bid. An 8% eBay Bucks promotion was running and I submitted a best offer on an item. I was not interested in the item at that price absent the promotion, and I included a note in my best offer asking the seller to accept the offer (if he wanted to) before midnight the following night when the promotion expired. The seller never responded, and I did not want the seller to accept the offer after the promotion ended, so I cancelled the offer shortly before the end of the promotion.
Not sure if that counted as a bid retraction or not, but I've never retracted a bid during an actual auction.
