Bidding

[DickieR29]

I really made a huge mistake this morning! And really dont know how this is going to work-out or what is going to happen? When I was bidding on a sports shirt I hit $775 instead of $7.75, that is a huge difference & how do I go about fixing this cotastrophe? Or at least I surely hope I can fix this mess I got myself into?

This is paypals forum and not ebays so you should really post on ebays forum for this sort of advice.

However i think i can help, you are entitled to 'retract your bid' but need to do so asap.

Click on help top of ebays page > select bidding and buying on the right > buying basics > and then hit the retract bid section options.

you should cancel your bid,giving reason of entering wrong amount.

but I doubt the competitive bidding will go that high,if you cant cancel it,ask the seller to do it for you.

or call Ebay and speak to an overseas rep.

FYI: Buyers can not Cancel bids, they can Retract a bid within a certain amount of time (I believe it is one hours) BUT have to replace it with another bid.  Only Sellers can Cancel bids and have to have a message from the buyer to do it OR they can do it based on suspicions that the Buyer may not be a good Buyer.  While I know this post is a little late on this thread it is an accurate one regarding Bids - Retractions - Cancelling Bids ...

Would you like to point out where in my post I mentioned 'cancelling a bid'?

I am perfectly aware buyers retract and sellers cancel which is why i stated this >>

@kernowlass  Re-read my post, you and the OP were "copied" at the bottom, my post was in reply to another member's post who didn't get it quite right.
