bid retraction

how long does before it takes effect. I had case of fat fingers so retracted the bid because of the wrong amount.

It told me all my bids had been cancelled.

So how long do I have to wait before I can put another bid on. I did the retraction about 5 mins ago. is it just me being impatent. As I am having a mini-panic. Nothing unsual for me ;)

Many thanks in advance.

    It should come off straight away, if you click on the bids and at the bottom of that it will tell you if anyone has restriced a bid and you ebay id should be there

    Slowen,

    Thanks it shows that. But when I try and correct my bid to the amount I wanted to bid it still tells me that I need to bid above £29.99 (my fat finger amount).

    I am still winning the auction at the moment anyway.

    Or am I just being a thicky :confused:

    Don't know whay that is as it normally removes the last bid but it may not lower the bidding price if someone else has placed a bid

    think I must just ask the seller to cancel my bid so I can re-bid.
