    You can retract your bid and then immediately rebid what you meant to pay.

    I did that years ago - meant to put £11.50 and put £115 instead. Didn't have a clue what to do but fortunately I won the item anyway for £4.50! :)

  • Check the highest bid first.then you'll have a better chance of winning.

    Done exactly the same myself before! Very quickly learnt how to retract when my heart was racing after bidding 150 instead of 1.50!
