How to cancel a mistaken bid ?

[204wnuczek]

I wished to press and mark for later viewing and page slightly moved at the same time. I marked as if I was bidding on the item and this was a mistake. I do not want that particular item to bid on yet. How can I cancel my voice ?

Hello '204wnuczek',

It is not really possible to bid by mistake, as you must enter each digit, click the bid button

then click again to confirm it.

It is, however, possible to change one's mind and regret one's bidding enthusiasm, but

that's not quite the same thing, is it.

To retract your bid, at the bottom of every bid history page is a Learn more link, which gives

you this:

http://pages.ebay.ca/help/buy/bid-retract.html

enabling you to find the Bid Retraction Form you need, whilst reviewing ebay's policy about

retracting. 

Notice where it says "Please remember that every bid is binding".  In future, use your

Watch List and only bid when you are completely committed to paying for the item.

Otherwise you can always ask the seller to remove your bid for you, and if the seller is

incined to agree, you may then find yourself on the seller's Blocked Bidder list.

Sellers can't stand indecisiveness.

Best of luck.
