Question ebay - how do i remove a unwanted bid?

Feckwit with 0 feedback bid on an item i have on.

The ad clearly explained by bids from people with less that 10 positive purchase feedbacks - pretty clear, feckwit did not even contact me either.

How do i retract/remove their bid, they are currently highest?

Found by clicking on the Ebay "Help" icon:

Cancelling bids
In general, sellers should not cancel bids on their auctions.

Legitimate reasons to cancel a bid include:

A bidder contacts you to back out of the bid.

You cannot verify the identity of the bidder after trying all reasonable means of contact.

Important: Bids cannot be reinstated once they've been canceled.

Note: You are also able to cancel bids when you end your listing early.

To cancel a bidders bid:
Go to the Cancelling bids placed on your listing page.

Enter the Item Number, the User ID of the bid you are canceling, and the reason you are canceling the bid.

Click the Cancel Bid button.

Ah-ha found the shortcut in the help section

Have done this once before, 18 or so months ago and forgotten how.

Typical example of creating another ebay account, using this account to up the bid of the 2nd highest bidder. (In order to find out what it is)

Retract the bid, log on again with new user account, bid £0.01p below that of the highest bidder.

And Bobs your uncle. Not saying you've done that of course
