This will be applied to any auctions already running and all of our future auctions.

Once you bid, and I have seen it and written your name in the artist comments, you are bound to a responsibility.
If you wish to retract your bid, you must let me know, as the owner of the auction. You must also tell the person above you that they are the high bidder again. DO NOT just hide your comment. You can't do that on eBay and we wont allow it here. Failure to comply may lead to blacklisting.

Thank you for understanding. I don't wish to be mean or make things difficult, it is just that this really irks and upsets me.

Not only is it difficult for me to have to look back to recalculate every few hours, it is also difficult for the bidder before you who doesn't know that they are the high bidder once again.
