Subject line is wrong: we're talking bid retraction by the buyer here, not bid cancellation by the seller. I'd say all the reasons given in this thread for the bid retractions are against the eBay "allowable reasons" for it (see the TOS http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-user.html#bab and also the Buyers guide at http://pages.ebay.com/help/buyerguide/bidding-retract.html). You could try complaining to eBay (though they probably won't do anything), you could point the bidders involved to those links, and you could leave them negative feedback. I had this happen right in the last hours of an auction which was REALLY annoying since there was no time for the price to recover. The person involved was a new eBay user and turned out to have been acting in good faith (if ignorantly) and he agreed to pay more than the final bid price (though less than his retracted bid).

(...) typed (...) explained (...) Speaking of these things, what can I do with this guy? (URL) bid the opening bid, then immediately retracted it and as the reason put: "Min Bid is too high for opened product; new product is available at near same" (...)
