Calling eBay and having them cancel your bid is a good solution too (assuming it is within that 12 hours and you can't do it yourself).
For the record, I still stand firm in my belief that the auction wasn't shilled.

I forgot about that. If you can tell that it's a cancel rather than a retraction, I would contact the seller and express my concerns. If he was doing it to protect the auction (and legitimate bidders), I would not be concerned.
I rarely look for bid retractions on items I'm bidding on, but as you stated earlier - they probably don't occur that much.
