There is a blue button on this page to retract a bid:

You can retract a bid if

The seller significantly changed the description of the item
You accidentally bid the wrong amount. For example, you meant to bid $20, not $200. In this case, enter the price you intended to bid as soon as you've retracted the incorrect bid

- When the listing ends in less than 12 hours, you only have 1 hour to retract.

- You can't retract a bid on items listed in Trading Cards categories.

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.
