"Hi, my name is Todd Amazeen. I've been an Internet business consultant for fifteen years. I'm going to show you how to cancel an eBay bid. First log in to your eBay account and then from the homepage or from the my eBay page, select the item that you want to cancel the bid for and click on it. In the upper right hand corner of the bid item screen, you'll see the item number. Write this down or double click and copy by right clicking and selecting copy, the item number. You'll need this in a minute. Scroll down to the bottom of the page or click on the help button in the upper right hand side. And select from the buying section the first question, can I retract or cancel my bid? Click on that and scroll down, being careful to read the instructions. And when you get to the line to retract a bid use the bid retraction form. Click on bid retraction form. Again read the rules and regulations. And now click into the text entry area that says item number of auction in question. You can right click and paste in the item number that you just copied on the previous screen or you can type it in if you wrote it down. Now scroll down and let eBay know why you're retracting the bid by clicking on the down arrow next to choose one. In my case I entered a wrong amount, and I click on retract bid. You've just learned how to cancel and eBay bid. I'm Todd Amazeen."
