I just happened to notice this on one of my current auction listings when checking the bid progress. It had shown a bid of just over $20 for the last couple of days, but when I checked this morning, had dropped back down to $9.95. Sure enough, the high bidder has retracted his bid. In the past when this has happened, I received a notification e-mail from eBay about the retraction, but there was nary a peep about this particular instance. Which makes me wonder how often this has happened on my own listings without me noticing (as in a quick bid and retraction, rather than leaving a bid in place for several days before retracting).

The subject matter of this particular listing is off-topic, but I am wondering if any of the other eBay sellers have had the same experience of late? And if so, for how long now has there been a lack of notification? Or is this just an anomaly in eBay's ever-glitchier system? Any insight would be appreciated.
