Press Release Body: As the old adage goes, nobody\'s perfect. There are things in

minutes or so.

On eBay, there are instances wherein online shoppers or bidders may find retracting
a bid inevitable due to some unforeseen circumstances. Others find it tricky and
sellers may find it maddening. But whatever the point is, buyers may still retract
their bids even if they won the item.

As much as the seller would be professional about the matter, buyers should also, by
all means, do the most civilized thing to do - inform the seller about the reason
why he or she would not push through with the sale.

However, buyers may also do this legally, that is in accordance to the eBay
policies. Buyers may declare a \"clear error\" especially when there were things done
inadvertently. For example, the bidder mistakenly typed $100 instead of $10.

When things like these happened, the buyer has to make appropriate actions at once.
All they have to do is to tick the \"Services\" link situated on top of the navigation
bar. On services, the buyer should tap the \"Retract Your Bid\" link found on the
\"Bidding and Buying Services\" section. The item number should be placed on the space
provided in the Bid Retractions page.

Automated explanations are available and can be used by the bidder. Then, after the
buyer had clicked on the \"Retract Bid\" tab, the bid amount will be deleted from the
auction.

The eBay management, in reality, is reasonable on things like these. In fact, eBay
may accept whatever reasons buyers have whenever they want to pull back a certain
bid. But then, it may pose harm on the bidder\'s reputation in the future.

This can be tolerable especially if the reasons are valid, but nevertheless, it\'s
still a big no-no when doing business on eBay. In the first place, it was clearly
stated on the buyer\'s guide that the bid serves as a contract that binds the buyer
to a commitment to make the necessary purchase of the item he or she had won.

What\'s more, bidders may even lose the credibility and the chance to bid at some
point especially if their bidding history were made known to most sellers.

Indeed, retracting bids on eBay is not such a good practice to make, and can be a
hard habit to break.

All of these things boil down on one common point. That is, the buyer should never
bid on an item if he or she is not yet even sure of buying it.
