Then please bid on my auctions. I have had ELEVEN bid retractions on my
auctions in the past month. FIVE in the past week. People put down that
they bid too much. That is not an acceptable reason. I have considered
leaving feedback about people who constantly retract their bids, as I think
it is ridiculous. I have retracted one bid of mine since I started using
ebay, as I misread an auction description. One of these jokers has
retracted 8 bids in the past month.
