Ah yes,

All but the last are victims of bid shielding, by the same accounts (which will be linked) by the look of it.

It's against Ebay rules so should be reported to them for investigation.

Perhaps the sellers should also be alerted that they are likely victims of fraud in case they don't realise it from having been informed of the late bid retractions.

This is something Ebay really needs to start stamping out now, its becoming quite common on their site and their software is responsible for promoting it by its lax implementation.

All of these items had retracted bid(s) that were higher than yours, and the last one had a reserve price set that was higher than your maximum bid.

Can you provide details of the offset and snipe amount for at least one of these ?

Otherwise, could they fit a scenario like this one ?

I have several auctions I lost that my bid was far above the winning bid, but it says that my bid was under the asking price? What is happening here? It is happening with several different sellers, and no they are not with reserves.

for example, these are from yesterday
