Bidding on Ebay

I was planning to bid for an item, but there is a chance that it might get expensive...so for example lets say I bid on something, and i have the highest bid, but it turned out to be too expensive, can i cancel my bid right before the end of the auction say....24 hours

I don't remember how, but you can cancel, but only in the first 12 hours ( maybe less) after you placed the bid and only if you set a wrong number, for example 1000$ instead of 100$. Franko_3

I hope to god you don't use eBay.

Why on earth would you buy something if you don't even have enough money?

[QUOTE="herpderp9000"][QUOTE="FUBAR24"] nope thats not true. you cannot cancel a bid. as gameguy said its a contract. that said you can always try talking to the seller and they can opt to offer the item to the second highest bidder. however if you think its going to get to expensive either A) set a limit to where you will stop or B) just dont biduberpunage101

its really simple actually, just dont bid more than what you are willing/able to spend.

No, but let's say you put in a maximum bid of $100. If the person under you had bid $50, then you pay only one step above that $50.

i havent bid yet. im just asking for future reference lol. anyway thx for the advice. I think ill just stick to $220
