PWCC 10 Retraction Rule

[frankbmd]

If one has more retractions than bids, a surrogate bidder would be required that would allow you to retract his bid, protecting the surrogates ability to bid within the PWCC policy even if it is enforced.

I'm going to give this a little more thought, but my future may rest in a bid retraction enterprise which could be retained by eBay, PWCC and consignors everywhere.

I'll need a slogan though.

I don't have a problem with bid retractions if they are used properly. I have had to do it once in 20 years I have been on eBay. I was in a hurry and fat fingered a # and hit the bid and confirm buttons before I noticed my mistake. Then I canceled my bid and bid what I originally intended.

My opinion is they need to chance how they are used. They should only be allowed if you place another bid on the item that is higher than the high bid is at that time.

eBay should charge the bidder for each retraction. Have the amount increase each time. Place a limit on how many retractions you can have and then you are banned.

All sorts of things they can do, but will not.

On that subject, I think if someone places a safety bid, it should automatically go to the next increment. If you want to bid higher than your initial amount, you should have to pay. It can be intimidating for some people to bid, knowing that someone who has the next three bids in a row could have bid a very high amount. It can limit the bidding, and the seller loses money.

I see Franks employee is up to over 1000 retractions now. They had just over 700 when I originally posted.
