Uhh...ready to punch myself repeatedly for trying to use eBay agin after swearing it off once before.
I have a current auction going for my old iPhone 4. Last night when I went to bed the bidding was up to $270. When I awoke this morning the person who had placed two different bids up to $290 (he was the high bidder at $270) had retracted their bid citing that they had entered a wrong amount. Now the auction is back down to $200 with only a few hours left.
And after reading all of this stuff in this thread I am thinking I may just end the auction and sell it on craiglist just to avoid the hassle. To hell with my perfect feedback on eBay. Its just not worth it anymore.
That's a bad scam too. They bid it up high with one of their accounts and with another lower bid so they can then retract their high bid later hoping that their cheaper bid wins the auction. I've had people retract bids days later after bidding and saying wrong amount.
