Accidentally hit the 5 instead of the 3 during bidding. How can I change it from 50 to 30 dollars?

Accidental bid amount

·1 year agoA typo in entering the bid amount is the ONLY bidder error that may be corrected by retracting the bid. You must rebid the correct amount (the amount you intended to type in the first place) immediately after the retraction goes through. There are time limits (12 hours before the scheduled auction end or 1 hour after the bid was placed, whichever is later, but in no case later than the actual end of the auction) so don't delay.

Except in trading card categories. No retractions are allowed for any reason at any time for those (too much "bid shielding" went on a couple of years ago). The seller can cancel your bid at any time before the end including at your request, but is not obligated to do so and s/he cannot give YOU permission to retract.
