Bid retractions over the top?

Hi all, I just won an item from one of my regular sellers and happened to notice a bid retraction on it.

 

When I looked furthur into the bidder's activities I saw he/she had 157 retractions in 30 days and a staggering 822 in 6 months.

 

Is it just me or is that way over the top for retractions?????

try a sexy hat. Toupees aren't nice you know 😛

What a great idea Amber, I'm now wondering whether to buy a Volvo then I can wear a flat hat - or start a new fashion trend with a Bowler Hat or a Top Hat........    (with shorts and thongs.................original.gif)

you may joke about top hats shorts and thongs...but you see that at the Melbourne Cup often enough. sigh.

This deserves an internal investigation as it seems to be coming from wthin Ebay itself.

Emerald, this is apparently being investigated by T and S after both my seller's and my own complaints.

 

Unfortunately T and S have done nothing so far (1st report was on 23-12-2013) and the buyer is still merrily putting in bid retractiions.......original.gif

 

I followed up this morning by both a phone call and email (to make sure it was on record), but no real joy there. "C S" told me "T and S" (why are they called Trust and Safety in cases like this), may or may not get back to me on the complaint..........

 

I realise it's been Xmas, but how long does it take to sanction or shut down a bidder who appears to be blatantly manipulating auctions?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I feel a nice bottle of Merlot coming on later to ease the angst...............................original.gif
