Yes it is. Search ebay help for "cancel bid" and follow the links.

has this been a new thing? I tried to cancel one years ago and it wouldn't let me. said it was final or some crap like that

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?RetractBidShow You can retract if there's more than 12 hours left on the auction.

I used it because I meant to type $100 and I typed $1000 accidently. Obviously, my bid became the top one. It let me change my bid to what I meant to bid in the first place. Interestingly, because I misbid first, it allowed me to see what the other bidder's top amount was.

I think they do make allowances for if you want to bid but bid the wrong amount.

I didn't know they let you flat out retract your bid.

I think it used to by offering much more flexible choices than they now have. Now I think it is intended more for accidents like mine rather than wanting to remove your bid entirely.

doesn't it ask you "are you REALLY sure?"

I have retracted a few bids over the years(all because I changed my mind, although I selected wrong amount entered as my reason).
