Why would a person retract my bid for a dvd even threw it was the highest bid
I recently bid on a dvd but the seller refused it even threw it was the highest. Also I never had a problem before and just paid for something else earlier with the same payment

·2 years agoA seller can cancel any bid(s--one cancellation removes all bids by that bidder on that auction) up until the auction ends (if you actually won and then the seller cancelled the transaction that is something different; come back with details, especially what eBay said was the reason the seller gave in the message to you telling you the transaction had been cancelled). You should be able to find the reason the seller GAVE for the cancellation on the Bid History Page, in the section on cancellations and retractions below the main history (but eBay keeps reformatting things, often with a loss of some functionality). Note that one cancellation removes all bids that bidder placed on that auction, though information on only 1 bid will be displayed. You need to be logged in under the same ID you bid with, as only the seller and the particular bidder are allowed to see the reasons.
Go to the Listing Page for the auction (the one with the Description and the Shipping and Payments tab) and from there click on the # of bid display (even if "0 bids", but see below if it is) to get to the Bid History Page. BUT FIRST, if the auction is completed and there are "0 bids", look in the upper left to see the reason the seller GAVE for ending the auction early (and if that is the case it is extremely likely that the reason for your bid being cancelled is that the seller cancelled all bids to end the auction early.
