Answer 1

Immediately contact the seller and explain the situation. They will probably cancel your bid. You could also hope they already have a higher bidder than you.

Answer 2

Talk to the seller, he might let you out of it.

Answer 3

well the seller cant give you a negative feedback, and you dont have to pay for it.

when you win it will say "pay now" just ignore it.

although you should mail the seller about your mistake maybe arrange something so you can pay a bit for the winning fee (if you have a conscience)

Answer 4

haha this happened to me unfortuanatly I was SOL. Because I wasn't closing my account. So I had to pay for 2 of them. Heres what happened. I was bidding on some cords for my 360 and then in the following days I bid on something else without realizing that I had already bidded on one. And needless to say I won both of them $90 for some cords to my 360...rediculious.

Answer 5

Not actually a pocket bike?  What IS it?

Also, your parents would kill you even if it was a real pocket bike.  No parents outside of an insane asylum would ever let their kid buy one of those.

If you're under 18, contact eBay and report yourself for being underage.  They'll cancel all your active bids and close your account until you can prove you're 18.

If you were using someone else's account, report that to eBay.  Same thing, they will suspend the account because it was used by someone else.

Answer 6

you can retract, lie. and then never go to ebay again.

Answer 7

close your ebay acc

Answer 8

Send an e-mail to the seller explaining the situation to them and ask to have the bid cancelled.

Let them know that if you win the auction you won't be able to pay for the item and your trying to avoid being reported as a non-payer and don't want the negative feedback.

Most sellers will honor the request if given enough time to cancel the bid before the auction ends.

Answer 9

If you are under aged (under 18), you are not allowed to enter into contract (especially to buy a bike).

Try that.

Good Luck...
