Retracted Bids?

[mollycrownmolly]

Hey everyone 😄 

Just looking at an item and its bidding record, and noticed that while it says 20 bids from 8 bidders, it also says the item has 803 retracted bids. 

Does that mean what I think it does? That 803 bids have been removed? Haha I'm so confused 😛 

If anyone can please shed some light on this, my curiosity will thank you!

what's the item number

[mollycrownmolly]

It's 281668697184

Oh, and the retracted bids only show up on the ebay app on my phone, not when using my laptop.

There are no bid retractions that I can see on that listing but be aware that the same item "sold" on 20/4 and no feedback has been left.

Had a look, its now sitting at 797 bid retractions

Try bidder 8***a

30-Day Summary Total bids: 511 Items bid on: 320 Bid activity (%) with this seller: 0% Bid retractions: 796 Bid retractions (6 months): 1632

Good grief. Over 1600 retractions in only 6 months.

That would be like a full time job.

T & S falling asleep on the job yet again Taz, these serial bid retractors should have an automatic flag on their account (and their ISP) and be booted off eBay when this happens IMHO, it can't be that hard to put a system in place that automatically alerts eBay to this abuse of the bidding process.

Oh good grief....how did I miss that?   Thanks Tazz.

How could anyone post that many bids in order to retract them?   Definitly a full time job.
