To buy an item on eBay, you need to buy that item. If everything is done correctly, then after winning you need to pay for the goods in accordance with your rate and then wait until it is delivered. But what if the rate was entered with an error, or if it turned out, for example, that the description of the lot being sold changed during the bidding process? In such cases, you can try cancel bid on eBay. How exactly to do it?

Online auction eBay- one of the most popular places for online shopping in the United States. Here you can find a wide variety of goods at affordable prices, and users are happy to bid on the exhibited lots in the hope of acquiring them as cheaply as possible. To participate in the auction, users must place bids.

Bid on eBay- this is the amount that the buyer is willing to pay for the exposed lot. The buyer chooses the amount of this amount at his discretion, but taking into account the size starting rate set by the seller, or the size of the current rate. In this case, the rate step can be arbitrary or fixed.

When bidding on eBay is often very important high responsiveness, because auctions for very popular lots can be incredibly fast, and then a buyer who is too slow will simply not have time to place his bid. Unfortunately, such haste sooner or later has consequences: in the amount of the bet, you can easily make a typo and end up with no the right bet. But according to the rules of eBay, the buyer undertakes to redeem the won lot, even if he made a bet that was not what he originally wanted.

Luckily on eBay it is possible to cancel an incorrectly entered bet. But this possibility is valid only under certain conditions. Thus, if the bet to be marked was placed more than 12 hours before the end of the auction for the lot, then the buyer can withdraw it at any time, but all other bids of this buyer for this lot will also be deleted. If a bet requiring cancellation has been placed less than 12 hours before the end of the auction, then it can be withdrawn only within 1 hour and the remaining bids of the buyer will remain.

It is worth noting that an error in the amount of the bet, in accordance with eBay regulations, is only typo, for example, if you entered $99.5 instead of $9.95. IN such a case when canceling a bid, you must immediately enter the correct bid. But changing the amount of the bet at will cannot be considered as a sufficient reason for canceling the bet.

However, canceling the bid just because the buyer simply changed his mind about buying the lot will not work. In such a case, one can only try to seek help from the seller: if he wants, he can cancel this or that buyer's bid at any time. Of course, the choice remains with the seller.

If canceling a bid is in accordance with eBay's rules and regulations, then the buyer may fill out a special cancellation form. To do this, go to http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?RetractBidShow and follow these steps:

• enter the number of the lot, the bid on which you want to cancel, in the field " Item number of auction in question»;
• choose your reason for canceling the bid from the drop-down list " Your explanation of the retraction»;
• click on the button " Retract Bid» and confirm the cancellation of the bet on the page that opens.

We will talk about this further.

• You made a topographical error (typo) by entering the wrong bet amount. For example, they wanted to bet 8.5 dollars, but accidentally entered 88.5. It is clear that there is no desire to overpay $ 80, therefore, you need to cancel the bet, indicating the appropriate reason, and immediately do the right one, without errors and typos.
• Cancellation due to the fault of the seller. For example, you placed a bid, but after some time you see that the seller has significantly changed its description. It turns out that you were going to buy a product with some characteristics, but in fact they turn out to be different. In this case, you have every right to cancel your bet and demand a refund.
• You've bid on an item, but you can't contact the seller. For several days now, he has not responded to private messages within the eBay system, and letters sent to contact email addresses are returned with the mark "Undeliverable to recipient."

Wait. It is possible that before the end of the auction of the item you have bid on, another user of the resource will make a big bid. According to the terms of the eBay site, when a new rate appears, the previous one loses its validity. Make sure you don't set automatic bid updates and don't update your bid yourself. It is worth considering the price and specifics of the product. Inexpensive popular products, such as fashion accessories, appliances, interior items, are always in great demand.

Give in to your opponent. In the event that if the bid is the highest and the auction is coming to an end, you are the item. If after the end of the auction you decide not to purchase it, first of all inform the seller about it. Write him a personal message by e-mail and ask him to give up the goods to the buyer who bid before you. Show the ability to convince, and the seller will meet you.

Convince the seller. Another situation is if you are the only user who has expressed a desire to buy a product. According to eBay site rules, a bid is a liability to the seller, meaning if you win an auction, you are obligated to purchase the item. There is no special button on the site that cancels the bet. The only way out is to negotiate with the seller to cancel the transaction and extend the auction. Explain why you decided not to make a purchase, what problems arose, what made you doubt. Sometimes sellers put up one product for sale several times.

Leave everything as it is to the detriment of reputation. If you win an auction and change your mind about purchasing an item, but are unable to contact or negotiate with the seller, your reputation as a buyer may be affected. Information about the unpaid item will appear on your page. If in a short period of time you do not pay for three or more items, your account will be blocked and deleted.

A bid on eBay is a kind of deal agreement. You must provide a valid reason for canceling the purchase.
