With 111 bid retractions in 6 months

Ebay should really place a limit on the number of bid retractions one can perform. Unfortunately I suspect they know that would deter shill bidding, and as a result generate less fees for them.

The bid retractors with excessive numbers of retractions are most likely trying to find the "hidden" high bid rather than being shill bidders.

Yes, eBay should ban them but that probably won't happen.

As a seller last month I had a guy bid on my item that had 574 retractions in 6 months

He has another ID with over 100 .

Ebay has certainly become a better place for buying than selling. Working out a buyer issue as I write this.

As a seller, I can tell you that I look up the counts every time I see one in one of my auctions. If I consider it excessive, I block them from doing business with me.

I blocked both names and cancelled the bids with 10 minutes left to screw with him a bit.

Stef, it has been a very long time since I did any business on ebay, but that type of activity would smack of shill bidding to me.... ICBW.. Cheers, RickO

Yes, I agree but sometimes you have to dance with the devil.

Still hopeful I might win after having been outbid by someone...
