Same buyer bid on 14 of my auctions -- 14!!!
and won 5 of them. I agreed to wait a few days for the others to finish in order to combine for shipping (proves that no good deed goes unrewarded!). Yesterday, I had even more bids from another bidder on many of the same auctions which were still running and some others. 18 bids, I think it was. I had a very scared feeling, because both had 0 feedback. Anyway, today came 18
bid retractions (says "Administrative Retractions". I assume e-bay cancelled them because they found something fishy going on. This is a lot of work wiped out and, of course, I'll never get paid for the 5 which closed, I guess. Should I pursue payment on those? How to handle this? Anybody had this happen to them? What a mess!!! Ebay is getting to be a lot of trouble. Had several bad checks recently, too.

Boy, what a mess. I tried to look at your retractions to see if there was a pattern of users but before I found them, I found what I think is your 5 auction winner starts with "chow" is already NARU'd. So I guess that answers your question I suspect those other bids might have been from the same person. I would e-mail ebay and see if they can clear it up, check to see if the other users are No Longer registered as well?

I have contacted ebay, but it'll take a while to hear from them. The second bidder also is NARU'd. I wrote to alert everyone, because I'm in Arizona and my daughter in Seattle also has a bid from one of the same bidders. You're right -- about the chow.....
The person (or persons) may have wrecked havoc all over the place. Be alert. Anybody who wants to know the names, can e-mail me. Is that OK to do? They both had 0 feedback and shades, (If I remember correctly).

yes, you can post your e-mail for others to email you, what you can't do is post their id's without inviting them to the board. My e-mail is [email protected] (not on ebay)
