Is there anyway you can stop a bid on eBay?

Okay so, this may sound like a bit stupid, but I didn't read what I was bidding on (I was in such a rush) and instead of bidding on an iPhone 4, I bid on an iPhone 4 box.
Anyway I can cancel the bid?

No and if you bid is accepted you must buy

If i'm not mistaking you need to contact the seller.

Yes, you can cancel the bid

Report the seller for misleading title. They aren't allowed to sell empty boxes. This should get you off the hook/

Yes, you can cancel your bid under limited circumstances ie you entered $100 in as your max bid, instead of $10. But you are supposed to rebid the correct max bid ie $10. All that said, eBay doesn't allow "empty boxes" for iPhones to be sold for exactly the reason you now want to cancel your bid. You thought it was for a phone (not just an empty box). Email the seller and ask that they cancel off your bid as you were mislead into believing the auction was for a phone, not just an empty box. If they decline, report the listing to eBay and eBay will cancel the auction and the seller will be "put on notice"!

  • Winning a bid on ebay, but decided not to buy? I'm winning a bid for an iPhone 4S on ebay, but before I bidded I only wanted to put it on hold and didn't want anyone to buy it so now I'm the highest bidder and I think I might win. But I'm still looking around and don't wanna buy it. Help how can I get out of this messy situation, I know I stuffed up but I'm not gonna pay for the phone? Do I write the seller a message saying I apologize or what?
  • Is there anyway you can use an at&t iphone for a virgin mobile account? I have an iphone 4s for at&t and i need to save money so virgin mobile wouldn be the cheapest phone service, but I was wondering if there was anyway instead of buying a 500$+ phone if I could keep the phone i have (at&t) and put it on a virgin Mobile plan
  • Is there anyway you can see text messages after you have deleted them? I just got a iphone a couple days ago but before that i just had a basic phone from verizon. Well somehow my parents have seen some text messages that I deleted and I don't know how they can see them and they are personal things i'm talking to my best friend about. Does anyone know how they can see the messages and if they do is there a way I can make it so they can't see them?
  • Is there anyway you can download iOS 5 on an iPhone 3g? Never had an iphone but when I broke my Samsung, and didn't have any upgrades available, I decided to buy a phone off amazon. I ended up buying an iphone 3g not knowing anything about iphones. Now that my update doesn't go any higher than iOS 4.2.1 I have absolutely no apps. So did I just screw myself over? Aren't there "ways" to get iOS 5 even though my phone isn't compatible? Tried emailing iTunes already and didn't really help
