Can I report people for falsely withdrawing bids?
as above really I have had 4 seperate Bidders withdraw within the last 24 hours Due to wrong bid amount/and could not contact seller(they didn't try)
It really annoys me they cannot email to ask me to withdraw im sure to other bidders it looks like false bidding"

How do you know they were falsely doing it? You can report them but I doubt much would happen just block them from bidding again

If they entered wrong bid amount then surely that means they must bid again at correct amount and they did originally bid 4 days ago....it doesnt really take 4 days to say oops I have bid wrong lol does it?

I report bid retractions. If enough people do it maybe ebay might notice them.

Surely the fact the OP did not receive any contact from the bidder is proof enough that they were falsely doing it ....?

Thats sounds very odd, possible shill bidding and removing their bids? I wanted to bid on an item today but when I looked at the other bidders the one seemed to have a 100% bid activity with the seller! Was then put off the item.

There are only a couple reasons given when retracting a bid so they might have just picked one.

TurkishDelight - Thanks for the link

Had my 1st one yesterday, bid of £99 on a 99p item retracted (wrong amount), understandable. The seller then put in a bid of £2.50 but then retracted this 2 hours later also saying wrong amount bid, but no further bid received from this buyer???

On checking this buyer has been on ebay for 8 months, feedback of 48, and 21 bid retractions in that time - TSFE me thinks!!!
