Considering I have messages from both sellers admitting they lied about why they retracted their bids, is there anything I can do about this? Not sure what resolution I would want from this, but I feel quite disappointed by eBay's system. Is there any point contacting eBay support or should I just move on?
Not sure you can actually say the second bidder lied as such, yes they most probably would have being happy with the original bid amount. Bad with the highest bidder dropping out, to a reasonable person that would look fishy, it even looks like the seller is bumping it up, and than dropping out, not saying you did, but to another bidder it does look that way, and is a common practice.
And there is no real option for cancelling a bid because you think the seller is playing games, so the best approach is use bid wrong amount.
Glad they came back in, but you have to consider their view on the world as well
