How do I retract a bid on Ebay?

[vthobby]

As they say on the "bay".....stuff happens!

It is a tool to use exactly as you used it. No one is perfect!

Or you can do it 93 more times, and just blame it on your fondness for ice cream.

If retracting a bid makes you feel icky you could either take a NPB (which really means nothing these days) or file a "item not as described" return (which is as easy eating cake these days). Not knocking you OP, I actually place a ton bids on my phone so I've often typed too many 0's with my fat fingers and had to correct them before I confirmed so I understand how it could have happened, but if it's really a card you want and think it still might fall under your intended bid you can always let the bid ride and there is literally 0% chance you'll be stuck with the item at a heavy price thanks to a buyer friendly eBay.

At this point in the auction, the proper thing to do would be put in a retraction, and then put in the actual bid he intended to make in the first place. Waiting until the auction ends and then not paying/returning hurts the seller in this transaction. Retracting a bid with plenty of time left in the auction is the proper response.

+1..just retract the bid and put in the intended bid. It is when people just retract for no reason, and do no bid again that we block. If they retract a bid and then resubmit their intended bid, they are allowed to do that

Good point. Some sellers are vindictive and will put you on their blocked buyer list if you retract a bid...

I run into one of those vindictive sellers yesterday. I asked if their obviously altered card was real and if it would pass a grading company. Sellers response was "you are now blocked". Bet that card was real.
