Can you cancel a bid you made on ebay? If so, how?

Question

i recently bid on the DDR Konamix game, but I have been offered it from somewhere else at a lower price. So i need to cancel the bid i placed on Ebay. What do I do?

Answer 1

A bid may be retracted (cancelled) by the buyer in some cases if the retraction meets the requirements of our Bid Retraction policy.

You can retract the bid with more than 12 hours left before the listing ends. When you do this, all your previous other bids will also be eliminated. So be sure to bid again if you are correcting a bidding error that you made.

You cannot retract the bid during the last 12 hours of the listing, unless the seller agrees.

Answer 2

phantom,

"but I have been offered it from somewhere else at a lower price."

please tell me this wasn't from an email you got?

if this offer was from another EBAY SELLER, REPORT IT.

this is against ebay policy and is considered AUCTION INTERFERENCE.

most, if not all offers like this are BIG FAT SCAMS!

be very careful about this other offer.

you may very well be falling for a SCAM.

if the offer is from china RUN LIKE HE**!!

you are allowed to retract a bid for only a few reasons.

your reason is not one of them.

Yea, you have to contact the seller and tell him/ her why, it's a real pain. Be aware that you'll most liekly get some negativev feedback, unless you get lucky and get a nice seller.
