Just like it says, my computer was hacked into today and someone was using my profile and making bids on things I don't need or don't want.  How do I reverse a bid?

You will have to contact each seller and ask for a cancellation. You should be aware that most of the sellers will likely Block you from ever bidding again, hacked or no.

Or you could Retract your bids, however, the reasons allowed for this are very limited and the retractions will show on your feedback page. Too many Retractions (even "legal" ones) and sellers, again, will start Blocking you to protect their own businesses. EBay also watches Bid Retractions and may limit an account with "too many".

I would assume you have already changed all your passwords. And warn your bank about the hacking.

Here are the eBay rules for bid retractions. Here is what eBay has to say about invalid bid retractions.
