Just had a bid retraction on an item I have up and the bidder has 13 Retractions vs. 9 feedbacks(1 neg) in the last 6 months WOOOOW!!!! Had to smile,they weren't going to win the Auction anyway with their current bid (always get snipes for these items) but they must have got nervous with a half day to go.

OOOOPS, forgot to say They weren't even the highest bidder,2nd highest,guess they were worried high bidder (who won't get it either,after the snipes move in) was going to Back out.

I hope you'll pass the info on to SafeHarbor; excessive bid retractions is grounds for suspension (at at least a stern e-mail warning).

Bid retractions are common. I do not like it whent the bid retraction is the day of the auction though. Frustrating. Also, I resent ebay being able to do an "adminstrative cancellation" without reimubursing sellers at least the listing fee.

Would you rather they just left a NARU as the high bidder?
I think from their point of view they're doing you a favor.

I had a bidder back out with an hour left recently. A newbie with no FB, an ebay member for 3 days with 3 bid retractions already.
Good ol' Safe harbout stated emphatically that bidder did nothing wrong. My second letter to SH went unanswered.
