Serial Bid Retractor : advise please

DH is selling 2 vases, and is keeping an eye on another similar one being sold by a friend. All auctions end on Sunday. All vases received bids from the same bidder. The bidder has now retracted 2 bids, one of ours, and the one being sold by DH friend... the reason he put on our retraction was that he (or she?) entered the wrong amount. A quick look at his info shows that he has retracted 37 bids in the last 6 months. Incidentally he does have 100% +ve feedback

DH has lots of watchers on his vase, and the auction doesn't end until Sunday, so no harm done. Just doesn't seem quite right to me.

So WWYD ? Forget it or report it.. and why would someone do this all the time ?

Because they're idiots?

Just hedging their bets I imagine. Not sure I'd bother reporting. I once reported a company for very obvious shill bidding and nothing seemed to have been done.

unless he is shill bidding I don't think much will be done. I would add him to your blocked bidder list to be honest. If only a buyer his feedback will be 100%.
