OT 599 retractions

It's hard to believe ebay doesn't have a maximum number of retractions beyond which you're suspended.

I just sent a message to Brent through eBay to request that he blocks that bidder from all future auctions.

Thank you to the board, especially to Peter, Leon, and John for reaching out to us. This bidder has indeed been blocked.

Just for completeness I want to make sure everyone is aware that as the seller I am unable to see these statistics that general members of the eBay community see. When I click on a user ID I am taken to specifics about that individual because their ID is not hidden for us. I would actually prefer to see what you guys see.

Bid retractions remain a top priority for me in my work with eBay. I am very hopeful that meaningful changes to this eBay tool are coming this year. Until then, please continue to help us police the marketplace. It's very much appreciated.

Easily fixed by using a different browser that you're not logged into eBay on, I believe. Or if you have bid retractions, you can have a staffer look them up from his/her account. Or send the auction to me and I'll look it up for you.

Or use Private Browsing in the same browser.

Under the current policy it is very hard for an ebay user to be suspended for any buying/bidding policy violations regardless of the number of violations. Sellers on the other hand can get booted quite easily.
