ebay - stupid bid - do I close my account ?
 

Chasing a new PC motherboard I put a foolish maximum bid on an item... :(

Can I avoid buying the item, (if I happen to win) by closing my account ?

Any advice other than, think hard before doing something stoopid ? :brickwall

u can retract your bid just say its a mistake

Retract your bid, say your 'son' did it, Ive done it before. Just don't make a habit of it though!

Yes as above, Just put `Wrong bid amount entered`:thumb:

i've done it, said my mum bid on the wrong thing, usually not a problem................

Cheers guys, any clues as to how ?

I don't "do" ebay as I'm very old...

LOL

If you do it before the end the seller has no recourse ..
