    @prosanme   You will have to contact the seller.  Buyers are not able to retract bids in the trading cards categories.    

     

    Let the seller know that you meant to bid 8.25 not $825.00

     

    Keep in mind that your high bid amount will not be used unless someone bids against you at a higher amount.  

     

    From the policy page>  

     

    "Keep in mind that you can't always retract a bid once it's made. Bids on items listed in Trading Cards categories, for example, can't be retracted. If you're not able to retract your bid, you can also try contacting the seller to see if they'll cancel your bid for you. The decision to cancel is at the discretion of the seller."

    Bidding the wrong amount as you did is one of the few legitimate reasons to retract a bid.  You should be able to retract, unless there are less than 12 hours remaining in the auction.  That’s the only thing that should block you from retraction.

    You could also contact the seller and let them know what happened.
