EBay's policies state that both the buyer and the seller have a right to cancel or retract a bid in certain situations. For example, where the buyer has made a mistake by bidding the wrong amount or the seller significantly changed the details of their listing.
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. You'll find lots of other helpful advice on this page, too.
If the auction has finished, you can contact the winner and, if they agree, you can cancel the order. You can only end auction listings with bids one at a time by selecting a valid reason.

If there are 12 or more hours before the end of the listing, select Cancel bids and end listing early or Sell item to high bidder.
No, there is no penalty when a seller cancels a buyer's bid, regardless of the reason. When a bidder retracts their own bid, that is recorded and displayed in their feedback history. There don't seem to be any real consequences, since some active bidders show enormous numbers of retractions.
Choose 'End My Listing Early'. To end the listing of items that have bids on them, you can choose to cancel bids and end the listing early or sell it to the highest bidder, if 12 or more hours are remaining on the listing. Your only option to end listings with fewer than 12 hours is to sell them to the highest bidder.
