All

I have just placed a bid on a pair of second hand shoes. I meant to enter £2.12 and ended up mistakinnly entering a bid f £212.12:eek::eek::eek:

There are 6 days left to go. I am about to email seller and ask her to cancel my bid, but what if she refuses? is there anything I can do?

thanks

Retract the bid yourself and re-bid the correct amount. you have a perfectly valid reason.

I agree, don't bother the seller- just retract the bid yourself with the explanation 'entered wrong price' and then re bid at £2.12.

Seller cannot stop you as the auction has not ended.

It will show under your buyer details how many times you retract bids.

Thank you all for such quick replies. I've never had to retract a bid before so didnt realise it was so easy, especially when the first search result came back with a big paragraph on how a bid was legally bidding.

On a seperate issue, judging from my initial post, it appears it may be time to pick the keys off my keyboard and give them a clean.......probably the reason why I got into the situation in the first place
