Retracting a bid

[evalisa46]

Wife bought a heater without be knowing 

[redwick1]

If she has already bought it then it is cancelling a sale not cancelling a bid

You can ask the seller but they may not be too happy about it

The seller does not have to cancel it and if they dont then they can open a non payment dispute

When they close the dispute you get a non payment strike on your account

Two or more non payment strikes and you will be unable to bid on many sellers items

The seller was charged the final value fees straight away when you bought the item and the non payment is the only way of being sure to get thier fees back

Buying and not paying even by mistake costs a seller time wasted on the listing

They also have to pay for any upgrades they had on the listing so lose  money

If she has bid then to the top of the page under Help and contact to read about retracting bids

How to retract a bid

Buying without you knowing is not a reason to retract a bid and retracting for the wrong reasons you can be reported

Yuo could always make her pay for it and then she can sell on herself

If it was on your account then you are responsible for who uses it
