We're only going to see more and more of this, as regular bidders use it as a bidding strategy to create the appearance of shilling.

I hate it, wish Ebay would do away with serial retractors or start giving warnings out when they reach a certain threshold at least...............like 3......in a year or so.

What sucks now, is I can't even block that guy with 5000 retractions (though it looks like he's a straight up shiller), because Ebay has blocked his ID from view.

So Ebay won't protect me from him (as a buyer OR a seller), and I can't protect myself from him either until he actually affects me.

It will end when Ebay realizes they can charge for retracting a bid.
Maybe five cents for each retraction beyond the first 3 a month?

ARE YOU LISTENING EBAY?

I'll take a .05% royalty, thanks.
