The differences between retracting and canceling the Bid
If you ever need to cancel the bid you placed on eBay, you need to know a few points. The first is to ensure that you know the correct eBay terms.
In eBay terms, you cancel a bid if you’re a seller. If you’re a buyer, you can retract the bid. These terms are identical, but to the extent in eBay’s Terms and Conditions, they are distinct in fundamental ways.
The most significant difference is that it has the conditions that allow you to withdraw the bid you made on eBay. Most of the time, eBay (and other Amazon alternative websites) does not permit bid cancellation because of obvious reasons. Therefore, you must provide the specific details to have it approved.
