Retract a bid
I have bid on 7 cards that I would like to retract my offer. The seller is in agreement with me, but we can't figure out how to make it happen. Can anyone help ?

If you won the auctions you have to ask the seller to cancel the transactions, not your bids. You have to send a message requesting cancellation for each won card.
If you do retract the bids, on your feedback profile page the retractions will show up on that page, which could cause future sellers whose item you bid on to cancel your bids and block you.
