How to cancel a bid : eBay Guides

Why cancel a bid?

• A bidder contacts you to back out of a bid.
• You cannot verify the identity of the bidder after trying all reasonable means of contact.
• You end your listing early.
• You have an undesirable bidder (negative feedback score, non-paying bidder strikes, international destination, no PayPal account, etc...)

To cancel a bid:

1. Go to the specific listing and at the top of the listing...click to the right of  "bid history"...the "# bid(s)" icon.(example "3 bids"). This will take you to the bid history page.
2. At the bottom of the bid history table is a "cancel bids" icon...click over it.  You will reach eBay's help pages, titled Managing bidders and buyers
3. The rest is easy.  Under the Managing bidders and buyers title are a list of topics...click "Canceling bids".  This will take you to the "Canceling bids" section.
4. Click over the "Canceling bids placed on your listing" icon (#1 in the yellow box).  This will take you to the bid cancellation page!  Whew!
5. Fill out the form and cancel the bid!  It's all easier than it sounds, believe me.
