Here\u2019s when and how you can cancel your bid.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_You_Can_Cancel_Your_Bid\"><\/span>When You Can Cancel Your Bid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>eBay tries to protect both the buyer and seller from unfair actions on its platform. That said, you can\u2019t always cancel your bid. For example, if there were 15 seconds left in an auction and you suddenly canceled your bid, that would be unfair for the seller (although the opposite of that,\u00a0bid sniping, is allowed).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to retract your bid, one of these conditions must be met:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The seller significantly changes the description of the item and you no longer want it.<\/li>\n<li>You accidentally enter an incorrect amount when placing the bid. For example, you enter $500 instead of $50.<\/li>\n<li>You can\u2019t contact the seller.<\/li>\n<li>You contact the seller and they agree to let you cancel the bid. Note that the seller isn\u2019t obligated to let you cancel it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rules also change a bit when less than 12 hours of an auction remains. If you place a bid on an item in an auction that ends in less than 12 hours, you only have one hour to retract your bid. If you wait more than an hour, you won\u2019t be able to cancel it.<\/p>\n<p>Before placing a bid, make sure you read the item description carefully and double-check the amount you entered is the correct amount you want to bid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is Bid Sniping on eBay, and How Do I Beat It?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Cancel_Your_Bid_on_eBay\"><\/span>How to Cancel Your Bid on eBay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To remove a bid you\u2019ve placed, open any web browser and\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/signin.ebay.com\/signin\/?mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&amp;siteid=htg&amp;campid=5338813195&amp;customid=761977&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mkevt=1\">log in to your eBay account<\/a>.
