Retracted Bid showing in my feedback

[bright.ton42]

I just stumbled on this little note way over on the right of my Buyer's Feedback page. 

What happened was a typo, where I put in $299 by mistake but was able to retract it shortly after and 

correct it to $2.99., but I still bid.  

I think this note gives the wrong impression on my Feedback page and I have asked ebay to remove it based on 

my explanation above and they have asked me which item it was.

trouble is I've bought about 5 items recently and have no way of remembering which one it was.

And when I ask them how I can tell they don't explain.  

So what I'm asking, is there any way to find out which item I did this with?   Otherwise I'll have to send them the 

item nos of all my recent purchases -  no huge deal, but would prefer something easier.

It's a flawed system - if sellers can prevent bidders with retractions, it should be possible to eradicate retractions that are a genuine mistake, and have been duly rectified. I've done the oops where's that decimal point????? thing once.

Is this a variant on Google glasses? Some dude shows up in them?

PJ had a valid point back there though, not everyone retracts bids because of error. Some people do bid a specific amount to find out what the high bid is and then retract their bid cos they made an 'accident".

[amber-eyed-girl]

True, and that would be impossible for an automated system to determine...guess I'd like to think that most people are honest.

maybe we have the same middle name. Gullible 🙂

but mine's hyphenated amber-eyed-gullible-girl so I'm posh.

My bid retractions are because the seller cancelled my bid and ended the listing early.

Not my fault.

[amber-eyed-girl]

Yes, so they really shouldn't be there.

I've had cancelled transactions/bid (seller instigated) and not had bid retractions recorded. Sounds like an eBay error.
