Your bid on eBay is a legal binding contract, if you win.

You pay.

You cannot retract your bid for the reason you stated.

It is against eBay policy.

I suggest you read the A-Z help files before you bid again.

You need to learn how it works then start here:


http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/basics.html

Make sure to read the section on rules for buyers-the link is on the right side of the page.

Note the part about what happens when you win and then don't pay also.

I would also suggest you read your User Agreement as well.

You can ask the seller to cancel the bid if you haven't won the item but if you won it, you need to pay.

 

Learn how ebay works before bidding on anything else.
