Thanks guys. I'm really ok. Just a little bit frustrated at the comprehension sometimes.

I should have probably just let it go to begin with.

Dave, I can relate and empathize with everything you posted as I do a ton of selling on ebay too. I +1 everything you have said in this thread. I've seen enough though of certain posters here to pretty much never engage them.

What used to frustrate me is that the dishonesty of ebay sellers and their consignors creates an uneven playing field, which is made worse by economies of scale and popularity that grows due to the success of this dishonesty (with their consignors who are Net54 members), allowing a few cheaters who are also good at business to dominate the market.

If you don't cheat and don't tolerate your consignors cheating, you suffer from an uneven playing field. This is also true of auction houses.

There is certainly a lot of dishonesty on both the buying and selling side, but ebay could certainly make it much harder on serial bid retractors. If you're averaging one retracted bid per day (or per week) obviously you're up to no good. I recently had 5 bid retractions on 5 different items by the same ebayer. His excuse was "entered wrong amount". On every single one of them he had entered the minimum bid.
