    weird ebay trend i have been noticing

    i have been seeing people with auctions that have more then one bidder, one person will honestly be bidding and the other will place a high bid to see where the high bidders max is then retract the bid then become the 2nd high bidder so they can see how cheap they can get it for. its happened on 3 things i have been watching and it makes honest sellers look like shill bidders.

    eBay should disable retracting bids then.

    I've had it done a couple times on mine in the last month. As soon as a bid is retracted I block the bidder from bidding on any of my items, shows them you know what they're doing and also shows Ebay it's not you.
