If somebody that is not on ebay has a better offer than the one you offered can you withdraw your offer on the ebay item?

You made an offer, then found a better deal elsewhere.  Now you want to withdraw your offer.  

 

Is there a link to review your offer in your Bids and Offers folder?  If so you could use it to cancel your offer.   I'm not 100%  sure about that but you have nothing to lose by looking and clicking.  

 

I think it works the same as a bid retraction.

This says, 

If you want to cancel a Best Offer, use the Best Offer Cancellation form.  I didn't see the BOC form, but try the bid retraction form and see if that works, 

http://offer.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?RetractBidShow

 

I assume the offer it still "pending".  If the seller has accepted your offer you are supposed to follow through with payment same as if you won an auction or clicked to buy.  

 

If all else fails, contact the seller and say that you are unable to complete the transaction and wish to cancel your offer.  Be very nice and polite and load it up with sincere apologies.

If the seller has not accepted or replied with a counteroffer then you can withdraw your offer (the reason really doesn't matter).
