If you discover issues with the item after placing your bid, here’s what you can do:

  1. Review Auction Terms: Check the auction terms to understand the policies regarding discrepancies in item conditions. This will help you know your rights and options.

  2. Evaluate Your Bid: While you typically cannot retract a static bid, if you placed an auto bid, you may have the option to adjust your maximum bid based on the new information.

  3. Consider Future Bids: If you have concerns about the item’s value or condition, use this experience to inform your future bidding decisions. Always ensure to inspect items thoroughly when possible before placing bids.


In rare cases, if the issue you find is significant enough, it may be possible to cancel your bid. This usually happens when the item is not as described or has major problems that were not disclosed.


Taking these steps can help you navigate any concerns and ensure that you are making informed choices in the auction process.
