How do i cancel a bid

Buyers cannot cancel their bids. Only sellers can cancel bids.

Contact the seller and explain why you need to have your bid cancelled.

The seller may or may not cancel your bid upon request, it is up to them.

In the future, it is best not to place bids on items unless you can commit to paying for the item if you win.

If you are the seller https://www.ebay.com/bfl/cancelbid

If you are a bidder the general rule is that you don't. When you placed your bid you promised to keep that bid on that item (and pay for it if you won) absent a very few very specific extraordinary circumstances. If you think your reason might be such an extraordinary circumstance, let us know specifically what it is (the reasons are very narrowly defined), when you bid, and when the auction ends and we can give you an accurate answer to your question (or an alternative solution, if there is one, to your problem). Or you may contact the seller and beg him/her to cancel your bid before the auction ends, but s/he is under no obligation to do so nor to acknowledge the request, and neither not responding nor responding that it's OK with him/her is among the valid reasons.
