retracting a bid

[gillegoughenou0]

I have asked the seller to retract a bid I made on one of her items.  She indicated that was okay but I had to contact "support" to get the retraction done.  I cannot find support anywhere.  Please tell me how to retract a bid after the seller has okay'd it.  Thank you.

Sellers cancel bids. They can cancel a bid for any reason. 

Buyers retract bids. They must retract the bid right away after bidding, and no longer want it or you changed your mind  is not a valid reason to retract. 

Maybe you should have asked the seller to cancel your bid instead of asking to retract your bid because technically a seller cannot retract.

The seller cannot give you permission to retract.  S/he can cancel it  him/herself but has no say in your retracting it.  Either you have one of the two valid reasons or you don't.  Either you are within the deadline or you are not.
