Seems like everyone already does do it, and it makes me a little sick to be honest.

I thought this thread and this item was fascinating, but I'll admit this revelation kind of surprised me. I always assumed some of these serial retractors were on this board, but obviously kept it to themselves.

If you are not shilling auctions, and I doubt you are, you are actively interfering with auctions. Just because Ebay now allows it to happen with zero repercussions, doesn't make it right.

I'm sure many here are clever enough to figure out "secrets" that would interfere with other people's auctions to our advantage but instead choose a different path. So, no, not everyone would do it.

Edited to add: wouldn't anyone question the valdidity of an auction result where the underbidder had 92 retractions?

For the sake of accuracy the retraction total is now 93!

Phil, I don't have one bid retraction since I've been on ebay (2002). I can't see a good reason for retracting your bid. Can you enlighten us? Otherwise it seems like you're effing with auctions for profit or for sport. And 93 mistakes in entering the price isn't remotely feasible.
