Jeff,

I know that there are settings to send and receive certain type of notifications. I am assuming there is one to receive notifications about retractions. I don't know exactly where they are. When i wasn't receiving certain notifications, I called eBay's customer service and they walked me thru it.

Thanks Howard...I will try calling. I looked again and just can't seem to find it.

Chance it was 2. One time back when you could see buyers a good friend warned me he had been ripped off by a seller so I retracted bid. There was one other time I asked a question and got a vulgar rude response. I can't remember if I had retracted my bid or was outbid after I got the rude response.

Only one time. I retracted an offer I made on a buy it now/best offer after finding the same item much cheaper almost 2 days after making the offer. Normally I would not do this but the 48 hour window for the buyer to respond was almost up anyway. I have been an active ebay user since 1998.

I've been on eBay since 2001, I know of one because I was half asleep and put the bid in wrong. I can't remember any others.
