Reply to "Has anyone heard of this scam"

Hi. I'm not sure I follow the order of events here completely, but is it possible he is just new and unlearned in the ways of eBay? Maybe he bid on two items, hoping for one, and realized he needed to drop one? (Or, bid on three and realized he needed to drop two?) Maybe one ID is for him and another for his spouse, and he realized they were bidding against each other? Or, maybe he is a kid who got busted by his parents (or even a hen-pecked guy who got busted by his wife!)and told to get out of it? Maybe he got caught up in bidding frenzy, then came to his senses?

Those are still not proper ways to do business, and the guy merits being watched and/or blocked, and reported if he continues. But it doesn't sound as if he gained anything, so if it is a scam, it's a poor one, I think. Maybe I'm missing something.
