I went searching help on Ebay for an answer but of course, I didn't find the info that I was hoping to find.
Can a bidder to a bid retraction with the last 5 minutes of an auction?? I couldn't find any info that gave me an answer.
TIA

According to what I found, it says:
You cannot retract the bid during the last 12 hours of the listing, unless the seller agrees.
Hope that helps!

Hi CTA,
where in the Help section did you find that info? I knew that I remember reading it something.
Thanks

Mama, guess I just got lucky when I went to eBay Help, typed in Bid Retraction, and picked the topic that looked like it might answer that very question. Of course, if I were looking for that answer for myself, I would have never found it.
There are special rules about retracting bids, depending on when you originally placed the bid.
If you place a bid before the last 12-hours of the listing: You may retract that bid before that last 12-hours, if your situation meets the above description of exceptional circumstances. You will not be allowed to retract that bid during the last 12-hours of the listing.
When you retract a bid before the last 12 hours of a listing: you will eliminate all bids you have placed on that item. If you are correcting a bidding error, you will have to bid again.
If you place a bid during the last 12-hours of the listing: You may retract the bid only within one hour after placing the bid (and if your situation meets eBay's exceptional circumstances description).
When you retract a bid within the last 12 hours of the listing: You will eliminate only the most recent bid you placed. Bids you placed prior to the last 12 hours will not be retracted.
If you are not allowed to retract your bid during the last 12-hours of the listing, you may contact the seller to request that your bid be canceled. The seller will have the discretion whether to cancel your bid."
