I want to retract a bid on eBay

… I know it can be done, but what effect does it have on me?? i.e. feedback future bidding etc?

No affect just put a reasonable excuse in. Don't leave it until the last minute.

I don't think you can leave feedback unless you have actually purchased/sold something.

I have done it a few times to no ill affect.

You can only do it outside the last 24hrs of the auction as I found out

I don't get any 'withdrawn bids' bad/black marks anywhere in my history then?? … item has >24h to run

I think it will say that you have retracted xx bids in the last 6 months, but doubt anyone will really take any notice of that I rarely do.

What are you bidding on? and why are you retracting?

yup it says you will have reatracted one bid bid in last xx months, that its though

Its all good, I contacted the guy and he retracted my bid!!

Oh and I accidentally bid on the wrong item on sale by the same bloke ... to many windows open ... and was distracted mid-bid!!

I did it once when I accidently bid £1500 for something when I meant £15.00
