de jure answer: no, you are bound by the legally binding contract ebay seems to suddenly enforce every time they might lose money
de facto answer: yes, just follow the link at the bottom of the auction

Yes, you can, click on Help, Seller's Guide, Managing your auction & you'll get this:

Ending Your Listing Early

Sometimes something goes wrong and you can't complete your listing as planned. If needed, you can choose to end your listing before the scheduled date. If there are bids on your item, you can cancel them.

Reasons for ending listings early include:
The item is no longer available for sale.
There was an error in the starting price or reserve amount.
There was an error in the listing.
The item was lost or broken.
"To end your listing early, follow these steps:
Type your item number into the Ending Your Listing Early form. (You can get this number on your listing, on your confirmation email, or on your My eBay page.)
If there are bids on your item, choose between:
Cancel bids and end listing early
or
Sell item to high bidder(s) and end listing early
If your item has no bids, you'll skip this step.
Choose the reason you're ending your listing early.
Now your listing will end and will no longer be displayed on eBay. If there were bidders, they will be emailed that their bid was canceled and the listing ended early. "

Yes. I'd directly link the page that allows you to cancel all your bids at once and cancel the auction, but I think you have to be logged in to get to that page. I have it bookmarked btw because I use it quite often. ;)

Since no one has bid on it yet, go ahead. You'd probably get negative feedback if you canceled it when there were bids.
