I just posted a response to Poorguy's thread regarding this, but I figured I'd start a new thread for those eBay sellers who have had the displeasure of dealing with bid retractors.
There IS something you can do about it. Report them to eBay. And eBay DOES listen (believe it or not). There is a specific link to report bid retraction violations. I have used it several times in the past, and have gotten eBay deadbeats NARU'd or warned. I've reported bidders who have canceled bids on my auctions with bid retractions ranging from 30 to 80.
Here's how: Click on this link. Then, under the section Additional Information, click the Show link. It will expand, then click on the Contact Us link. You'll be prompted to enter in the eBay item number or the user id of the bidder. I've always entered in the user id of the bidder, then gave my ebay item number in the comments box, as well as brief sob story of how disruptive I find eBay bid retractions are to my auctions.
It does work, folks.
