once an auction is over a bid cannot be cancelled - so how can it be happening all the time.
No matter what, your description of them is extremely offensive and unacceptable.

eBay would be a wondrful place if everyone followed the rules!
In the real world, all too many buyers and sellers either don't know or even care about the rules. Members who break them can face penalties from eBay, but many don't even realise that what they're doing isn't allowed.
The fact is that trading with strangers on eBay is risky, especially for sellers. There are far worse things that can happen that just being messed about by buyers who rettract bids or don't pay. The important thing is to understand the risks, then make an informed decision about selling here.
