Retracting a bid

[dougz64]

I have tried to contact a seller to arrange for a retracting of a bid. The seller has been in touch with me and asked if I can do it my end. Any solutions?

Please see @1956glyn  advice.  At your point in your eBay "career" it is sad to see you trying to retract.

There are few valid reasons to do so. The only one that I can think of is bidding an amount by mistake say £2000.00 when you meant £20.00.

Bidding by mistake or finding it cheaper or changing your mind are not valid reasons.

Good afternoon. In response, I explained to the seller that due to unseen
circumstances, I was unable to proceed with the bidding, which they
understood graciously, and very helpfully. There was no malice, or ulterior
motives. As for my ebay "career"..... actually my career has been with the
NHS for the past 22 years. And I don't intend letting any ebay
"gatekeepers" to intimidate me in the meantime. I hope this makes things
clear.
