Bid Retractions / Bid History / Reputation
Auction ID: 100324
To see what happens I bid on this item, and then retracted the bid, and then bid again. All that appears in the bid history is my last bid, and there is no indicaiton that a bid has been retracted. Should bid retractions appear in the history, or is that desired? Thinking of shillers who overbid the itme and then retract with there remaining no apparent existence of their bid. Also, I didn't see anywhere that the fact that I retracted a bid shows up. Should this appear in the "Reputation" section of the "Members Area?" When perfomring a bid retraction, the only confirmation is a pop-up titled "Message from webpage" that states "Are you sure you want to retract all the bids that you have placed on this auction?" My opinion is that is a little soft on bid retractions and could/should be more forceful. Better title for the popup would be something along the lines of "Bid Retraction Confirmation" |

Good comments. One note that may address some of your concerns - we have a record of who retracted what bid, and will be watching that very closely.
The bid retraction process does indeed need to come with more yellow tape. Last edited by Matt; 01-27-2010 at 06:49 AM. |

I was going to recommend a "public hanging" for anyone retracting a bid, since Tim did it on MY auction, but I changed my mind SLIGHTLY when he placed a fresh one!
Maybe just a "mild flogging" in this case! LOL! (PS--Tim & I are friends, so all is good!)

So that everyone know what currently transpires with a bid retraction, here is the communcaiotn between Fred and I about what occurs, in the messages Q&A of the listing.

Matt and Leon, I know that the registration and activation emails recieved addressed me by my legal name that I had registered with, as opposed to username. The above quoted email only addressed me by username. It is not apparent to me yet if there has been an established criteria for use of legal name versus username. Should all emails from the system be generated using the legal name in addition to the username for the additional security in identifying that it is in a fact a legitimate GradSlamBids.com email as opposed to a spoof. In the email above it wouldn't matter, UNLESS the link was a hijack to a virus, etc., which due to the associated risks would affect the viability of Grand SlamBids.com by users feeling less secure with opening/using the emails appearing to be from GrandSlamBids.com Last edited by timzcardz; 01-27-2010 at 11:28 AM.
