Is there anything underhand in doing this? Currently selling a car on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mazda-MX5-MOT-Failure-/152282765085 and someone has retracted a bid. Not had this happen before, is it just tactics or am I likely to get accused of shill bidding? I don't know any of the bidders. Please don't shill bid or muck around with the auction. |

There are genuine reasons why someone might retract a bid, and bids may also be retracted tactically, but either way the item will go to the highest bidder. You will only be suspected of shill bidding if there is some connection between you and the bidder, ebay have algorhythms to detect this, one example being where the same ebayer repeatedly bids on the same sellers' items, only to retract the bid at the last moment.

Thanks. I shouldn't have worried, car now sold and was a very simple transaction. Very happy with the price as well.
Now I just have to sort the junk in the other 2/3rds of the garage...

Sorry no hardtop.
However if you want a number of double glazed windows and patio doors I could be the man to speak to! (a project that never got started - the fire god intervened...)
I think I have found a charity that will take the bicycles though so that could be my good deed for the week.
