- The seller significantly changed the item description after you bid.
- You can't reach the seller.
How to Retract:
- Go to eBay's bid retraction page.
- Enter the item number.

- Submit. Act fast! You may not be able to retract if the auction is ending soon.
Important: Abusing the bid retraction process can lead to penalties.
