Accidentally bidded on something on EBay?

This is going to sound ridiculous and stupid but I thought one of my devices wasn't working because when I put a cartridge in, it said it couldn't read it.
So I stupidly bidded on one on EBay because I thought it was broken but I tried again and forced the cartridge in and suddenly it started reading and playing it.
I will probably get out bid anyway but I bidded when there was only 1 hour left so there's a chance I might win it.
Is their any way to unbid? I can only access EBay on my smartphone at the moment though. So if you know how to do it on a smartphone (iPhone) please tell me how.

Send a message to the seller and explain what happened. They can cancel your bid. If they done, well now you have a second one if the first one does break.

You shouldnt even be on ebay if you don't know hwo to bid or not bid.

Send the seller a message. Explain exactly what happened and be remorseful. If they are a nice seller they will let you off. The very worst that can happen is that they will give you an unpaid item strike. Get a second one and you will be blocked from bidding for a few months, so be careful.

  • What's the latest that I can ship something I sold on ebay? So ebay recommends that I ship my item (an iphone) within 24 hours, but the post office isn't open until three more days, is it okay for me to ship it then instead? Please help. Thanks for all the advice guys! And I actually did contact the seller this morning but he hasn't answered, oh well…
  • What if I bought something on eBay and it's a mistake? I bought an iPhone, but I haven't read the discription and now I found out it was a donation. The title just said "iPhone 5 16GB Black", the condition New and only $100. But the discription said it is a donation for one. Can eBay give me a refund or do something for me?
  • What happens if you don't pay for something in eBay? Okay so I bid for an iPhone on eBay, but now I really don't want it. So what happens if I don't pay it? Does it get legal, like a bad credit score or something? Or is it just a bad rating on eBay and nothing else happens?
  • What Do I do if I accidentally bought something on a game? I have a iPhone and I was playing a game called ninja bike race ( or something like that) and I was looking in the store and it said unlock all for 49.99 and I accidentally pressed yes and I already had my iTunes password typed in and I purchased it. How do I get my money back?
