When the seller chooses not to cancel and you don't have a valid reason (you don't) to force removal of the bid (again, YOU DON'T), you honor your promise to follow eBay's rules and hope you are outbid. If you win you can try again with the seller; there is a way for a buyer to initiate a Transaction Cancellation case within the first hour after the transaction (end of auction--Purchase History: More actions: Ask to cancel order) https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/buyers-can-cancel-order/buyers-can-cancel-order?id=4004&st=12&pos=1&query=How%20buyers%20can%20cancel%20an%20order&intent=buyer%20cancel&docId=HELP1019#section1 and the seller has 3 days to reject it (if you haven't paid the cancellation goes through if the 3 days goes by without the seller taking action). Other than that you can try the seller again to see if s/he will do a Transaction Cancellation at your request (again, s/he is under no duty to do so or respond and can choose to file the Unpaid Item Dispute after 4 days instead), or pay, or take a UID strike, or hope s/he dithers around for a month until it's too late for him/her to open a UID.

You determine whether the item is the right size, etc. BEFORE you bid, not after.
