Removing a Bid as a Buyer

Accidentally bid on an item or need to retract your bid? eBay has some rules around this. You can only retract a bid under specific circumstances:

  • You accidentally entered the wrong bid amount. For example, you meant to bid $10 but entered $100.
  • The seller significantly changed the item description after you bid.
  • You can't reach the seller.

How to Retract:

  1. Go to eBay's bid retraction page.
  2. Enter the item number.
  3. Select your reason for retracting.
  4. 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.

Removing a Bid as a Seller

As a seller, you have more control over removing bids. Here's when you might need to:

  • The bidder has a history of negative feedback.
  • You suspect the bidder is not genuine.
  • You need to end the listing early.

  1. Go to the "Bids/Offers" section of your active listing.
  2. Find the bidder's username.
  3. Select "Remove" next to their bid.

Ending a Listing Early:
