As has been said many times, all an ebay seller has to do is block anyone with more than xx retractions in the last 6 mos. Put that number at more than 5 and at least some of the shilling would be more difficult. As it is, it is a joke the way some of the bidders in those auctions retract bids. I haven't seen too much blame put on the sellers for actually doing the shilling but more for the blind eye they seem to turn on it.
