Why does still have 100% feedback

topdog0410 — Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:18:56 GMT

why does anyone have 100% feedback when he/she retracts bids without permission and against ebay rules, plus ebay will not allow negative feedback to be given to them

You haven't been able to leave Neg FB for a Buyer for ages. Also, you cannot name & shame on here. The Mods will remove the ID shortly.

There are no laws against retracting bids. Better for a buyer to retract a bid than no pay and have to go through the hassle of an unpaid dispute. However, if you feel this person is bidding purely to see what the highest bid is, you can report them for that as that isn't allowed.

This is indeed a critical question which I solved by blocking <Removed>.

Do I get a prize?

How about a kudo then? I just read this & wondered why not just block & a few other things like-what does the OP mean by withdrawing a bid without permission?I think the permission part offends me the most. Before or after auction has ended? If before then why does OP think he can leave a neg for that?

Meh, eBay-helps keep you regular.

I think you answered your own question there. A ID that is used for buying only is always going to have 100% feedback.

The ID you mentioned sells & buys and has 100% fb

Retracting bids doesn't affect feedback left.

If you don't want to deal with them again, block them.

Stunned that other posters seem to think that 33 bid retractions in last 12 months is acceptable.

It is against eBay policy to withdraw bids unless under certain conditions.

It is also against the law when it is a bid is placed to shill and inflate the final price of an auction.

How did you find that out? I didn't think we could check those kinds of things any more?

Thread Subject Title. Search as Seller. Check Feedback under buyer. No. of Bid Retractions.

Also ..... if information is not "available" in thread title or disappears, I think a few questions to the OP re how the level of bid retractions they are concerned about may help to "clarify" why they have started thread on topic.

Yeah ninja cat,where you get this info from?

I never said i thought it was ok,i was just puzzled 'cos i get that once & BAM! straight onto the BBL before they know what hit 'em & before they can bother me again.So many other things about eBay that bother me so much more than the maybe 2 bid retractions that i have had.

Well there ya go, I never noticed that before! Thanks! I just looked at mine and feel guilty for having 6! Mine are legit though. Instead of bidding say $37.50, I'd bid $3750 because being half asleep, I'd put in a comma instead of a full stop. I immediately rebid, which is what you're supposed to do if you enter the wrong amount.

No, wait, two I didn't rebid. I cancelled them as I discovered after bidding that the seller used the GSP and I didn't know at that stage I could ask them to send via USPS. I did message the seller and apologised, giving my reason. She was very understanding and grateful for the message.Their items still sold for a good price, so they certainly didn't lose out by me retracting my bids.

sorry but you are wrong. there are rules for retracting bids. You must first seek permission from the seller which he didn't do. he then gave the reason" punched in wrong amount", which is a valid reason except he was the only bidder and only bid the minimum, the next day he asked if i would post it and i agreed a little bit later his bid was gone

What this scumbag does is bids on items then during the following days checks for the same item on other members sites and if he finds one cheaper he retracts his bid and bids on the cheaper one. That is against ebay and all auction sites in this country and ebay lets him get away with it. and allows everyone selling on ebay to think that this guy is a good buyer. WHAT A JOKE.
