I had bid on very good listings by a seller. Two i retracted from days before the listing ended.
Well if I won i would have paid
The seller went on to block me from their listing n bid or buy because apparently I was going to change my mind if I bid ,n not pay on time n without ever doing business with me ever Carolyn thinks I will pull out nnot pay if I win bids .
I have been buying a lot on Ebay n kind of bought a lot for Christmas for a big family. Have bought as high as 50 pounds. So,I was awestruck by such a weird experience or spectacular speculation by a seller who thinks I will risk her shop if I bid on say total 8 polishes..all at base prices she listed.
Is this a normal experience on Ebay. Struck first time,feel insulted

I think that the blocked bidder lists of every seller on this thread has grown by at least one at this point.

But it happens all the time, which is why it's prudent for a seller to cancel a transaction when requested.
I'm not disagreeing with you! Although a smart seller will agree (and block the buyer), the seller isn't required to do so!

Thankyou for replying.
To sellers who have explained to me the policy-thankyou .
I understand I can't retract a bid even when outbid as that is an issue. So will, be only bidding if sell is reasonable n if outbid will not be bothered. Now,some who are bothered about leaving 5 negative feedbacks in whole year. If sellers don't send an item and there's no response from them,negative can be left as per Ebay rep .thankyou
If you have truly learned lessons here, scrap your account and create a new one, because you will only get more problems with your existing account.
Don't place bids and then retract.
And don't leave bad feedback unless it's 100% the sellers fault, and not a issue caused by yourself.

eBay is soon to be, BIN only and immediate payment required, this will get rid of all the deadbeats who just play on eBay

Oh yes, you are so correct, I did it...
We all know who got blocked..

.............general reply...........
I have a certain disdain for bid cancelers.If a bidder is not aware of hw a policy works then that can have an akward effect on their cancellation rate.
I am an auction seller and have sold millions of dollars of watches at 1 dollar no reserve with plenty of nice ones mixed in.Bid cancelers cast a bad light on an auction,regular bidders do not like surprises from bid cancelers,regular bidders detest any auctions that do not run the full 7 days.
when an auction is not payed for it need to be relisted again for 1 dollar.........80% of the time its going to sell for less.........its as simple as that.
bid retractors jinx it for many regular bidders and they no longer want part of that auction.
ending an auction prematurely will immediately cause your regulars to lose faith in the system/seller

It wasn't private 30 minutes ago!
Nope. But it is now. For someone who earlier today didn't even know how an auction works, s/he was sure quick to learn how to hide negging and retracting. 😄

Isnt there a site that will still tell what feedback an eBay user gave even if private.

Yep!
Frankly, I would block you because you have your feedback set to private but I don't really need a reason.

How do you know this? Inside track?
12-20-2020 03:46 PM
You can send me low ball offers. I ignore. It doesnt even phase me and I dont block. In fact secretly I like them because..... (cant tell or then my secrets out)

Retracting so many bids can indicate a problem buyer to a seller.
Also, making your feedback private doesn't help your cause.
12-20-2020 03:55 PM
The OP has made their feedback private so no one can see how many retractions they have now.
