To get more information that might help you decide you can 'click' on the 'bids', this takes you to the bid history page, then click on the bidders 'name'.

The next screen should show you that bidder's details:

30-Day Summary Total bids:

Items bid on:

Bid activity (%) with this seller: s.gifs.gif

Bid retractions:

Bid retractions (6 months):

If they have only been bidding with the one seller and they have a load of retractions it might be a sign of suspicious behaviour but still not definite.

If the seller is determined and cunning, you can't. angry.gif

If the seller is greedy and stupid, you'll spot it by following oldfeet's advice. thumbsup.gif

Luckily, most people are honest!
