How do you take back a bid on eBay?

Answer 1

You retract or cancel a bid. Here is the ebay guidelines on how and when you are allowed to cancel a bid http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/questions/retract-bid.html

According to ebay, you can retract a bid only when there is still 12 hours remaining of the auction and it meets the following conditions:

"You make a typographical error and enter the wrong bid amount. For instance, you bid $99.50 instead of $9.95. If this occurs, enter the correct bid amount immediately after you retract your bid. If you do not place another bid, the retraction will be in violation of eBay's policy and could result in your suspension. Please review the retraction guidelines if you need to retract your bid.

The description of an item you have bid on changed significantly after you placed your bid.

You cannot contact the seller. This means that you tried to call the seller, but his or her phone number doesn't work, or that you have tried emailing a message to the seller and it comes back undeliverable."

Note though that the number of times you retract a bid is reflected in your feedback page and other sellers can see how many bid retractions you do and how often. Many sellers tend to cancel bids of buyers who frequently retracts their bid
