If you cannot complete your listing as planned, you can end your listing before the scheduled date. If there are bids on your item, you can cancel them.
Reasons for ending listings early include:
The item is no longer available for sale.
There was an error in the starting price or reserve amount.
There was an error in the listing.
The item was lost or broken.
Note: Your account will still be charged listing fees (such as the Insertion Fee) if you end your listing early. Consider revising your listing first if there are aspects of it you want to change or improve.
Timing Matters
When there are 12 hours or less remaining and the item has a winning bid, including a reserve met bid, sellers cannot make any changes to the listing, including:
Ending the item early. Sellers may cancel bids, but not end the item unless the item is being sold to the high bidder.
Adding to or changing the item description.
Converting the item to pre-approved bidders.
Note: Canceling bids or making changes to a listing with bids when there are 12 hours or less remaining, can damage the buyer experience and can undermine trust in the marketplace.
To end your listing early
Type your item number into the End My Listing Early form. (You can get this number on your listing View Item Page, on your confirmation email, or on your My eBay page.)
If there are bids on your item, choose between:
a. Cancel bids and end listing early
or
b.Sell item to high bidder(s) and end listing early
If your item has no bids, you can skip this step.
Choose the reason you're ending your listing early.
Your listing will end and will no longer be displayed on eBay. If there were bidders, they will be emailed that their bid will be canceled.
Note: Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated by eBay if known.

You can cancel bids, but dont do it for that reason. I strongly suggest you read up on the rules/guides/suggestions/ethics on the ebay website.
If you want a certain price for an item then you either A) start the bidding at that price or B) put a reserve price on that item - meaning you can start the bidding as low as you like but you do not have to sell it if the high bidder does not reach a certain price. The reserve price is kept a secret from the bidders.
Look on ebay to see what new & used DVDs are selling for, and then price your item accordingly.

You can withdraw the item from the auction if the auction is still going on. Once it's closed, I'm not sure. Usually the price goes up a lot at the last minute (especially the last few seconds) if it's a hot item. If you've had four or five bidders they may be back when the auction is almost over.

You have to sell it to the buyer for the price they won it at.Or you can email the buyer and tell them you lost the item,but you are at risk of getting a negitive.and there a lot of bidders who wait till the last minute to bid so say if your item at $7.00 it could raise up the last minute,you can cancel all the bids

I'm not sure but you can check the ebay's seller guideline and/or email your question to ebay itself.

im sure you can try to email the person directly and see if they will let you out of the deal, but I am no expert.
