How do I cancel an eBay bid? Cancelling an eBay bid can be done via the 'retracting a bid' page, using the 'retract a bid' button. Simply click on this, then select the product you wish to retract your bid for and give your reason for doing so.
If the listing ends in under 12 hours, you can retract your most recent bid, but only if it's been less than an hour since you placed it. If you are outside that time frame, your best bet is to communicate directly with the seller and persuade them to cancel your bid at their end.
If the auction ends within 12 hours and has bids, you cannot end the listing early. If the listing ends in more than 12 hours, you can cancel the bids and then remove the listing.
If you do not want your item to be sold to buyers internationally, you can exclude countries or regions you don't want to post to by adjusting your postage settings. Buyers affected by your requirements may still see your listings, but they won't be able to bid on or buy your items.
