Bid Retractions

[dutchman48]

Is there any way to report someone for bid retractions as there is no transaction, 2nd one in about a week from same buyer.

Also, why do the bid retractions not show up under feedback as a buyer or am I looking in the right place.

Or do offer transactions not show up at all?

I had one yesterday, no big deal.

Rarely happens, however, twice in a week from the same buyer would be frustrating.

Put that bidder on your blocked sellers list.

already done, but I expect negs for items already sent to him in retalliation. My question is do retracted offers not show up the same as retracted bids? There is not 1 showing in his feedback

No, retracted offers don't show up.

Why are you so upset? It's nothing personal. The buyer just decided not to buy. Happens all the time-- have you never seen an abandoned shopping cart in WalMart?

Better a retraction than a deadbeat bidder that you have to chase.

If you are worried about negative feedback, maybe it is best to remove the Block.

Aaah. Numismatics? Problem understood.

Better NOT block the buyer, unless he/she gives you an unreasonable low-rating feedback.

Bid retractions show on the bidder's Feedback Page.  If a seller looks there she can see it.

But that is not useful to a seller who uses Fixed Price listings since we only meet our bidders after they have bought.

Annoying as they are, at least you are not stuck chasing a buyer for payment on an item he doesn't want. And the item is still available for another buyer.

This buyer is a steady customer, from the sounds of it, if a little quick on the trigger. When he has his current purchased and has left feedback, you could try asking him if there was a particular problem with the items he retracted. Perhaps there is something about your listings that needs improvement. Or he could just be a flake.
