A friend of mine accidentally bid £2,000 on an item whereas she meant to bid £2.00. In the ebay rules it says you must retract a bid straight away, but this happened 36 hours ago and she only noticed her bid was wrong tonight , so is there any way you can retract a bid after 36 hours in exceptional circumstances?

She needs to contact the seller. When is the auction ending? Only the seller can retract the bid but you have to contact them before the auction ends. Even if she bid 2 pounds, there is a limit of increments...so if she bid 2,000 pounds and if the bid was at 2 pounds, then it would only go up .10 penses at a time. I dont think its possible to bid 2,000 pounds and have the auction set at 2,000.
Tell her to contact the seller as soon as possible. As the seller, it is his responsibility to retract bids when the buyer requests it, otherwise, he has to pay seller fees again if he doesnt retract it right away and if the buyer bails out too late.

Contact ebay support immediately, and explain the situation. Don't wait for answers here, none of which will be definitive.
AFAIK, they can't hold you to an obviously incorrect bid, but that's just my recollection, it's not fact.
