You have bought an item.

It cannot be deleted.

 

Because you are new to eBay, you might try to email the seller, apologize for the inconvenience you are causing and ask them if they would consider sending you a request to cancel the transaction..

They are under no obligation to do so, and instead can report you to eBay as a non-paying bidder.

 

Might I suggest that  you spend some time finding out how ebay works?

Click on Customer Support at the top of the page and read  all the info there for new members.

>>>committed to buy.<<<

Read this again. You are committed to buy this item. You can't get rid of it.

Contact the seller--maybe he will let you out of the sale. But getting an Unpaid Item strike so early in your eBay career is not a good omen.

eBay has no shopping carts -- yet. You did not put it in your cart, you bought it.  Your seller is your only out. Hope that they will accomodate you.

There is a tiny "Remove" link next to your item description. Click that & the item will be removed.

Thanks Arabians!  Ironic that the others who decided to answer actually came off as being slightly snarky and rude.... AND ended up clearly not knowing what the heck they were talking about anyway!!!!

Thanks Arabians,

 

There is a difference between "Buy it Now" and "Shopping Cart" thanks for clarifying how to remove the item

I did the same thing but I did not COMMIT TO BUY, I simply clicked ADD TO CART and I have never been on a site anywhere that commits you to buy something when you add it to the cart ... proceeding to checkout and paying is my commitment to buy.

 

Anyways, there was no Remove button in the cart, but there was a Save For Later button, and clicking this Save For Later button will remove it from your cart.
