If somebody sends me a message and explains their retraction, or re-enters their correct bid if they chose "bid wrong amount" (which they never seem to do), I don't worry about it.
If I go to their bid record and see this is a regular occurrence for them, they get blocked. They are manipulating auctions, plain and simple, not only that, they are manipulating MY auctions.
I don't care what they do over at Probstein or PWCC or wherever, but once they start doing it to me, then it is an issue for ME.
After reading I don't know how many threads on here about people being worried about "shilling" every time they see an auction with retractions, or a bidder in the mix with a ton of retractions, and that is going to affect the way "they" bid in the future with this particular seller, I'm surprised at the attitude of some about a seller who might want to be proactive about a subject like this.
I certainly am not being vindictive, and it doesn't happen a ton, but there's no reason to encourage it, unless somebody has a good reason.
......and yes, I would expect somebody selling Christmas Packs on a regular basis, would expect some bid retractions once people did a little reading up about them.
