Get serious about banning anyone with >1 bid retraction in the past 6 months and maybe we'll take your comments seriously. Compared to banning those who retract bids, worrying about string bidding is a waste of time.

I agree with this 100%. I was outbid on a card this morning then the guy retracted. I clicked on his history for the heck of it and he has 43 retractions in the past 6 months. Ebay obviously doesn't care about that.

Nor does, despite what they say, PWCC apparently.

Just to clarify, the auction with the retraction I experienced this morning was not PWCC.

My apologies, I thought it was.

I still stand by my comment, however, as it has been shown multiple times in the other thread, and a few others, that they clearly don't obey their own rules or guidelines.
