@fetterleygirl The easiest way is to message the seller and ask them to not accept your offer.

Retracting a Best Offer

If you've made a mistake when making an offer or a counteroffer, you can retract or cancel it in certain circumstances.

You can retract an offer if:

There are 12 hours or more left before the listing ends
You placed your most recent offer less than an hour ago

You won’t be able to retract your offer if:

The listing ends in less than 12 hours and it's been more than an hour since you placed your most recent offer
The seller has already accepted or declined your offer, or sent you a counteroffer
You’ve already made 5 offers in a specific category

If you’re using the eBay desktop site, here’s how to retract a Best Offer or a counteroffer if it meets the requirements above:

Go to Bids/Offers in My eBay.
Find the offer you’d like to retract.
Select Review offer, then select Retract offer.

You can also retract your offer on the item page by selecting Review offer and then Retract offer. If you’re using a mobile browser or the eBay app, go to the Best Offer cancellation form to retract your offer.
