sweetie · 2008-12-13 21:24:33

I overbid and would like to reduce my highest bid a bit. Is this possible. I am currently highest bidder and no other bids have been received. thanks

Unless the bid is grossly incorrect (i.e. bidding 1 million for a standard DVD) not to my knowledge.

You can retract a bid for a couple of different reasons including if you entered the wrong amount. From the FAQ link

I did it myself a while ago and retracted the bid without any problem.
It will just erase the bid completley and you can then place the correct bid.

You can retract a bid, but not in the last 12 hours of the auction. There may be other restrictions too. If it doesn't work, you can contact the seller and ask them to cancel your bid.
