I've got a serial bid retractor -
Summary: The discussion revolves around the issue of encountering a serial bid retractor. tintinthegingertomcat initially highlights this concern, but the thread contains minimal details and no specific solutions or suggestions are offered. badges-r-us and jonatjonatjonat briefly engage in the conversation, but the content of their discussions is not disclosed.
I have got a bidder on one of my items who has 62 feedback (as she is a buyer it is 100%) however she has made 16 retractions within the last year. My quandary is....do I let the auction run or cancel her bid? I know if she doesnt pay I will get a strike on her account but I hate retractors and 16 in a year seems an awful lot. If she does retract then I will report her anyway. The item is only £1.70 incl P&P so my gut instinct is to let the auction run. Just putting this query out for general consideration.

OP12 years agoI post below the reply I have had from Ebay about this serial bid retractor which just goes to show that reporting them DOES and WILL have an effect on their buyer power. What makes it even more laughable is she is a SELLER as well. Well, if we all report her she wont be buying or selling anything. Do I feel guilty......NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thank you for contacting us about your bidder xxxxxxxxxx for retracting their bids. Let me look into this as we’re equally concerned about violations on the site to keep ebay a safe place to buy and sell.
I have investigated your report and I’ve taken the appropriate action against their account as this buyer has breached our Invalid Bid Retraction policy. Let me guarantee that the action I took will have a negative effect on this member's account which may lead to restriction or suspension.

·2 months agoJust out of interest, do you have the link to report invalid bid retraction please? I can't find it anywhere and have just wasted 45 minutes of my life trying to get help for an eBay agent!
